Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Rosita Apaza Machaca:
If I scan a document, where does that document go? Is it in the cloud somewhere for someone to steal off a server? I have identity theft concerns. I have concerns about where exactly my data is going. What digital dust am I leaving behind that someone else can then use to target me specifically or anyone in a vulnerable position? I scan my private medical records. Where is that going? There needs to be regulation that says the data is destroyed within a certain time on servers or, even better, stand-alone systems where it does not actually go to a server so something like the original OrCam that is artificial intelligence but is not connected to the Internet in any way, shape or form. There has to be a safety there.
