Naoise Ó Cearúil (Kildare North, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

AI represents one of the biggest economic opportunities of our generation. I was fortunate enough to work in this space for three and a half years and in the tech sector for eight and a half years prior to being elected to this House. The Taoiseach's attendance at the AI Action Summit was extremely encouraging, as eill the establishment of the Oireachtas joint committee on artificial intelligence. I wish my colleague, Deputy Malcolm Byrne, the very best of luck as he chairs that committee. Opportunity demands action, however, and I would like that particular committee to come up with some suggestions to Government with how we can utilise AI from an international perspective and a State perspective. Will the Taoiseach ensure that AI is treated not just as a tech issue but as a cornerstone of Ireland's future economic strategy?
