Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Lowry:

Our colleagues in procurement use technology quite a bit and eTenders is well known. I do not think that has an AI component. One of the things the EU is committed to doing in the next year is looking at all of the processes around procurement with a view to seeing how the whole process could be sped up. The process is disadvantageous to smaller companies that have less money to spend on the process itself. It is very important that this is addressed. Technical solutions will then start to play into that space.
