Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Barry Lowry:
I think that will happen. One of the things Ms Cassidy and I are both involved in is the new national digital and AI strategy. It was previously the national digital strategy, which had an annual report. I suspect once the national digital and AI strategy is signed off, there will be an annual report on progress for that as well. However, that does not mean Departments cannot write up their successes and post them. Our data governance board also has an annual report in which it talks generally about what it is seeing in terms of improving. Its emphasis in the past two years was on ethics and has done a lot of work in ethics and its promotion. I think we will see feedback coming from Departments on what they are doing and the success they are having as well.
Of course, Departments have their normal reporting process, just as our own does.
