Mr. Bernard Joyce:

That is certainly a good question. AI can obviously so far, but it cannot cover the ethical and the emotion. When it comes to AI, it cannot distinguish bias in its full form, but it can actually enforce it. Therefore, it requires regulation and not outsourcing standards to AI. That is now what is happening. We can see now that standards are being outsourced to AI in terms of complaints and procedures. It cannot decide through ethics. The other side of that is some of these major companies are not in Ireland or in a European context and cannot distinguish particular minority groups. They cannot identify Irish Travellers or other minority groups and therefore, the standard of complaints are not upheld. In that context, we need to look at that at a European level and within an Irish context. I would not be confident that we should just outsource everything. We need to have standards to ensure that humans as such have the authority to still oversee and manage but also manage the pace in which AI technology is moving. We need to hold the pace to catch up with the regulation, steps and safeguards. I am not an enemy of AI. It can be beneficial but it needs to be maintained and managed and safeguards need to be put in place to ensure it does not become a harmful place and does more damage than good.
