Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Older People: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Camille Loftus:

I agree with all of what has been said so far. One of the benefits of AI is big health data. We can collect an awful lot of information and learn much more about the path of disease and what will work, and develop more tailored programmes. The issue of consent is critical and very tight safeguards need to be built around it.

Another issue I see flagged with regard to health and AI is an ethical concern. If I have been given certain health advice, will AI monitor me to see whether I am complying with it? Will it rat me out to my doctor?
