Professor Alan Smeaton:

On the AI safety report, we all agree it is very technically focused. One thing we raised in various iterations, that Dr. Seoighe raised on behalf of Ireland, was its societal impact. Another contributor to my insomnia is the hyper-investment by big tech companies and as a result of that, the functional overreach. By that I mean they claim it will be able to this, that and everything. We see a lot of that in the marketing associated with these services. However, in the various iterations of that report, Dr. Seoighe raised the societal impact. He might want to mention that we were the only one.
