That is an appropriate point at which to bring today's proceedings to a close. I thank Mr. Sherwin, Dr. Seifu and Ms Grehan for their engagement with us today. Certainly from the perspective of our committee, this is a hugely exciting technology. Our objective is that is to improve the lives of all of our citizens as it is rolled out and that guardrails are put in place. It is very specifically why we chose to ensure that we would have sessions on AI and disability so that when we engage with AI in healthcare, education, the State and all those other modules, we can at least consider the points that have been raised today and we see it through the lens of people with disability. We continue to be keen to receive input right through our discussions, so any individuals or groups can contact us at ai@oireachtas.ie, because it will inform how we report to Government.

Again, I thank the witnesses for their input today. I hope they found this meeting useful because I certainly did and the members will have as well. This meeting is now adjourned until 18 November when we will discuss the use of AI in the public sector.
