Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Bronagh Riordan:
I could maybe answer the questions from the point of view of wearing two hats. Wearing the first, we have seen a significant upsurge in the use of AI within businesses, whether that is start-ups, SMEs or large organisations, and within society as well. What we see is that those individuals then work in organisations. When we look at SMEs and start-ups versus large organisations, we see that the uptake and adoption in SMEs is a little slower than it is in large organisations.
