Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Lowry:

It depends on how that intellectual property is created. In some cases, for example, with the govtech examples we are looking to develop, the intellectual property would belong to the company or SME that provides the service. However, AI itself is very complex and the intellectual property in some of those AI cases will be co-owned by the Government because the actual curation of the data which enables the system to run will be owned effectively by the public but the Government administrates it on its behalf.
