Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I will zone in on a specific example. I appreciate the Minister of State is in the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment but we have agreed that the brief is wider because artificial intelligence touches most things. Among low-risk uses with no additional obligations is the use of AI in marketing. We know that AI used to create advertisements or art uses the work of others,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: It does not cover this, however. Is this an example of where additional domestic legislation could be introduced here? Is there any legal impediment to us prohibiting the use of AI in art and advertising? Just as we see different advertising standards in many countries, does the Minister of State see any legal impediments to us introducing legislation that would prevent art theft?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: That is no problem. On a couple of things that have been discussed already, the Minister of State mentioned the competent authorities in her opening statement. Will they get corresponding additional resources to accompany the obligations they will get?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: In terms of the sandbox, an effective sandbox, if it is to be a regulatory one, should be independent of any Department. As the Minister of State said, the Department of the Taoiseach could be considered but, arguably, the regulatory framework is where it should sit because that is the only way you will be able to test it. I want to ask a specific question on this. How can the sandbox...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: Will it have live personal data in it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I appreciate the concept the Minister of State is describing but what I am saying is that many of the risks are to do with the handling and use of live personal data. If it is a sandbox, I would assume the whole point is that it will not use live personal data. How does the Minister of State mitigate those risks? Are there additional tools available to her to mitigate those risks that can...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I am familiar with what a sandbox is.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: Let me be clear: I support the sandbox, which is a great idea, but my concern is around the use of live personal data, which cannot technically happen in a sandbox. What else can we do to mitigate the specific risks?

Committee on European Union Affairs: Findings of the 2025 European Movement Ireland EU Poll: European Movement Ireland (9 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I thank the witnesses so much for being here. It is lovely to see them again. I had not seen them since the European elections last year. We were best buddies by the end of that. I have a couple of questions about defence spending and public trust in institutions. On defence, I thought some of the figures around this were very interesting. A quarter of people who believe that the EU is...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: Any solution through the Department of Justice appeal process leaves them too late. The €40,000 they paid for flights will be gone because they had to pay beforehand. We need to discuss this, and the broader issue of visas from Palestine, today.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: A huge number of residents of Dundrum and nearby locations contacted me recently. They are worried about privacy, noise and disruption and they are worried about drones. After several trials around Dublin and complaints from residents going unaddressed by this Government, a new drone depot is proposed for Dundrum. Let me be clear: I do not blame a company that, in the absence of...

Commission of Investigation (Handling of Historical Child Sexual Abuse in Day and Boarding Schools) Order 2025: Motion (15 Jul 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I welcome the establishment of this commission of investigation. While I have hope for it I am concerned that while the Commission of Investigation Act 2004 does allow for human rights compliance in the establishment of tribunals, inquiries and commissions of investigation, unfortunately in the two decades since the levels of compliance make a patchwork quilt when it comes to domestic and...
