Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. John Sherwin:

The way to determine that is by having disabled people around the table when we are talking about ideas for services and improvements to them. Too often, able-bodied groups, Departments and State agencies decide what is good for disabled people. Sometimes, this means services that are not quite needed or are not geared in the right direction. We need closer consultation with disabled people about what will improve their lives. We need to determine what the gap is before we rush to provide solutions for things that may be less of a priority. Dr. Seifu may have a comment on that.
