Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Dr. Michael Seifu:
It is very early days. As individual organisations and as a network, we are trying to come up with policy position papers on AI and how it is impacting disabled people.
That is the early stage for us. At the same time, we realise there is no such thing as perfect regulation. What we are trying to do is mitigate the risk as much as possible. We know that, at any time, even if they want to be in an AI system which is totally free of bias or something, we also know that step by step, phase by phase we can mitigate some of the risk we see. That is why we are focusing on particular AI solutions like the large language models and those kinds of things, where we are working on those.
