Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Older People: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Camille Loftus:

Quite similarly, I use AI as a research tool with an extraordinary degree of scepticism. I check everything. It is an efficient way of collecting sources. That is the way I treat it.

In regard to the issues of access around data and what is being scraped, I have no idea what they are getting from me every time I use AI. None whatsoever. I know I clicked one of those consent lists. It was a big long consent list, which even if I sat down for several days to read, I would still not know what they are using the data for. We have myriad examples of this, of people scraping data and using it for purposes nobody intended. Maybe they should be paying us for our data because it is valuable.
