Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Rosita Apaza Machaca:

I was very fortunate. I managed to a cheap pair of Meta glasses second hand. The cost of having a permanent data package on my phone is expensive.

Support needs to be in place, whether that is a digital package so that people can afford to have data on their phones and can afford to have a pair of glasses that is linked virtually permanently, because there is a cost associated with it. I am balancing that just about, but there is no way I can afford the advanced privacy stuff.
