I thank everyone for their presentations. Mr. Sherwin mentioned co-creation and Ms Grehan spoke about AI not being neutral. Looking at those two things together, I am wondering about when DPOs should be included. Are we looking at a pilot programme where it is tested on real people who are living with particular disabilities that the AI is related to or does it need to go back a step further in relation to that co-creation piece? Should the technologies be regulated in the same way that medical equipment is? What are the witnesses' thoughts on that?
