Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. John Sherwin:

The Oireachtas, and all of the Oireachtas committees, can help us by making sure we are at the table at the appropriate times, as I said earlier. We really hope to engage with each of the committees about the blueprint for co-creation. That attitude of involvement is embedded in the human rights for disabled people strategy. It is a relatively new thing. The Oireachtas committees and the Government Departments can help us by learning about that in the first instance. An awareness-raising needs to happen. Whatever influence the committees have to raise awareness about that, we would be happy to meet individually with the committees to have a workshop on the blueprint for co-creation.

Members' awareness in the first instance, and their identifying where disabled people should be at the table and are not, and asking for that, would be very supportive of us.
