Dr. Patricia Scanlon:

There is a lot of uncertainty out there. It is hard to regulate in the context of what is uncertain and what is coming down the tracks. When it comes to job displacement and ensuring how we handle it in the future, that is really important. There are things we can do. I am not despairing. It is keeping me up as long as people do nothing, but I will not despair if we start to see action and we start taking it seriously and ask how can we best take advantage of what we know. In Ireland, we are in a great position to be able to do something like an AI observatory in order to be able to take real-time insights to inform policy.
