Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence, Truth and Democracy: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Art O'Leary:

As I mentioned earlier, I think the solution to all these challenges is education, public engagement and digital literacy. This is where the focus of all of our energy will be in the next couple of years. AI is here. I think we have to manage it and mitigate whatever risks we have. I did not get to mention it but one of the big challenges we have is the issue of labelling AI. There is so much material being generated here. There is a danger if we say we are going to label anything that is AI, if some material emerges that is not labelled then people will automatically think it is true. We have to be very careful about offering what are, on the face of it, quite simple solutions where it is much more complex than that.
