Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion
2:00 am
Lynn Ruane (Independent)
I have a final question. Facial recognition technology, FRT, was mentioned. The previous justice committee looked at this and I remember there was an inaccurate statistic used to promote FRT. I think it was said to be 99% accurate but a particular sample was being used that is not appropriate. Does Dr. Shrishak have concerns about Government, State bodies or any actors being too under-resourced to be able to understand when the AI tech industry is using statistics that are not accurate to implement sweeping things like FRT within the Department of justice?
