Ms Bronagh Riordan:

I just want to add to that as well. It is worthwhile noting that this capability has been around for some time. There are new iterations and evolutions of it as well. What has changed significantly is the democratisation and usage of AI. People have it in their hands day in and day out. We see a significant increase in the usage in the past year or two. There are some facts that are available and we see democratisation increasing. It is important that we double down on literacy and education, as it pertains to different segments of society. Members have noted that as well. It would be advantageous and would help people to understand the opportunities and the risks. It would also educate them on the responsible and ethical use of AI. When we take a national approach to literacy we can target it and create a strategy around how we develop that, who we use to do it and utilise the capabilities we have in Ireland to our best advantage.
