Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Tim Culhane:

Yes, it is a potential risk. The Deputy touched on the fact that blind and visually impaired people are by definition more likely to use AI to access sensitive material. If, for example, there was a data leak where the records of lots of people got released into the dark web or something like that, blind people are probably proportionally more likely to be caught up in that. Their sensitive information is more likely to be caught up in it than that of people who do not need AI to access that type of sensitive material.
