Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. John Sherwin:

Yes, AI working on AI is something that would be helpful and supportive in the development of the product. It is a unique product in that sense. It can be analytical and it can assess in the same way OpenAI's ChatGPT is used to write code, assess where the errors are in the code, and then correct the code. It can certainly be used as a tool. Our assertion at the moment is that it needs human input to determine that. We are speaking in a negative sense about the potential risks and outcomes but we are optimistic as well that AI can improve the lives of disabled people and deaf people. However, we are quite sure the bias will be there if we are not around the table. That is our main, overriding message today in terms of co-creation.
