Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace: Discussion (21 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: That is the thing that people are concerned about. I know my time is up and will finish on this. The unfortunate thing is that often when one confronts this, the answer is that it is huge, complicated and moving faster than the human brain. At some point, we have to be able to say, "Stop".
