The challenge ultimately comes to the design of AI. It is always more difficult when the AI has been deployed and you are then trying to ensure human rights are being vindicated. On the concept advanced around the code of conduct for AI developers and those who are engaged, how would IHREC envisage that operating? I am going back to the principle that we need to make safe AI because, frankly, once AI is out there, it is increasingly difficult to make it safe. What sort of code of conduct should the State operate in its procurement of any programme or platform using AI or developers of AI?
