Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We had an extensive conversation concerning the obvious dangers of AI but more so the positives, the innovation and productivity of the technology and its absolute necessity from an enterprise point of view. We also spoke about the fact that digital literacy is an issue. I agree with the last two speakers. It is very important that the advisory council is fit for purpose and the Government has in-house AI capacity. Beyond that, would the Minister of State also support having a special Oireachtas committee to deal with this issue? We must get to grips with AI and I am not sure we have all the capacity in this House necessary now. More needs to be done.
