Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Older People: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Niall Carroll:

I am actually retired from ICT, with 30 years' of IT behind me. I am crossing the fence to being retired at the age of 71. I see the difficulty in AI with the students we teach in the Age Action getting started programme.

I use AI cautiously and as a companion more so than anything else. While we are giving AI the information it will disseminate it and if we want a shorter version or handout that is what I use AI for.

It is also a good tool for research but we have to be mindful of the people who are over the age of 65, on that side of the fence.
