Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion
Mr. David Lee:
I do not want to repeat what my colleagues have said but I will build on one of the examples that Mr. O'Reilly gave. I know the Deputy has a particular interest in the SME sector and there is a great opportunity for the appropriate application of AI to level the playing field. I definitely think there is a role in ensuring the SME sector is given the appropriate support. Our experience has been similar. Some of the most innovative ideas have come from the smaller organisations. It is about giving them that support to be able to harness that technology because it will level the playing field for them.
