Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Bronagh Riordan:
From the Government perspective, we have excellent organisations already set up. It is about understanding who is best placed. Another recommendation we made is that we need key experts. We lean on experts across all areas of society, including in business, society, etc. I refer to something similar to what the council has. It must also be ensured there is somebody who can balance the opportunities and the risks. I know we have spoken a lot today about the risks and this is important but we need to ensure we also look at what the opportunities are, how we manage and mitigate the risks and how we ensure we are getting the right balance in this regard.
