Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion
2:00 am
James Geoghegan (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael)
Mr. Lowry mentioned future skills in the public sector and that he feels the public sector will be able to adapt, just as it has in other instances. That is obviously going to be true across every sector in terms of how it is going to adapt. Estonia have taken a view, rightly or wrongly, that AI is everywhere and we need to prepare our students for the future. Estonia has taken a very strong view on curriculums and how teachers are trained and taught within secondary schools. How important is that specific area of secondary school teaching, its adaptation to AI, how we use AI and how we teach children in terms of developing the future skills needs of this country?
