Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Patricia Scanlon:

For me, it would be flexibility and the idea of continuous lifetime education, reskilling and retraining. Rather than one going to be exactly "this" in the future and foregoing everything else, it is the idea of educating yourself broadly, following your interests, training in what you are good at and passionate about, and then having the flexibility in order to find your niche as things evolve. Again, we do not know exactly how it is going to evolve but people should have that flexibility.
