Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kieran McCorry:

Microsoft too is a member of the global frontier framework forum. Our president, Brad Smith, has called for the opportunity to have a safety brake on AI technology, especially as it reaches what the Deputy called super-intelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence. I think we are some time away from that level of capability. Indeed, I hope so. I do not think it is an immediate concern but we are all alert to it.
