Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Older People: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Pat Mellon:

I fully agree. As an organisation, we have over 200,000 members in that age category and they come to us on a regular basis with issues. When it comes to an information campaign, we want to be on song with the legislation and the regulations. That is why we are calling on the politicians to give this to us.

We will deliver it but we want the politicians to give us strong regulations. We need strong regulations so we can say to somebody living in Offaly, Kerry, Wexford or wherever else that they can come to us and we can say, “Here are your protections and you are guaranteed those protections.” We will do that without question. We are asking the politicians. The people trust the politicians here. Let us keep it that way.
