Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Fionn McWeeney:
I use AI for studying and education. Sometimes, and we have all been there, you have a night before an exam, you have not studied and you need to cram some notes in. AI is extremely smart, as we all know. If you are able to put in information to say that you need a summary of a chapter on biology, it will come to you.
That is what AI should be purposed for and it is what we need to embed into our curriculum - that AI can be used for good things and not just the bad things on which we always focus. AI offers incredible opportunities for growth and can help people grow in professions and fields. That always has to be accounted for.
