Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Kris Shrishak:

That kind of oversight is where the market surveillance authorities, as regulators responsible for overseeing the imposition of the AI Act, come in. That is one part. When it comes to the fundamental rights part of things, IHREC for instance could potentially play a role from an equality and non-discrimination point of view. There is also the possibility that they might need to exchange information and share insights. The first case I mentioned was the market surveillance authorities. It is highly likely that in many sectors they may not have expertise in human rights. It is not just technical expertise that needs to be everywhere so there needs to be this exchange.
