We need to tease this out because it seems to be a big area. A number of members have referred to the issue of AI and where we are going to go with it. We can never fully future-proof legislation. That is impossible but we have to make our best stab at it and also allow it to be reviewed pretty quickly and changed, if necessary. On the basis of the speed with which AI is moving, is this legislation as currently drafted going to allow for flexibility as regards how the State will manoeuvre in the context of changes brought about by AI?
