Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Development (29 May 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the establishment of the task force. If it is done right, it could represent an important marker in the development of the city. As our national capital, Dublin has a responsibility to serve as an example for the rest of the country and to be a safe, attractive, vibrant and flourishing city, one that cherishes and celebrates its past and fearlessly embraces the future and its...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sure they would have plenty to say about it. Certainly, what I have read in the media would not fill me with confidence. I appreciate the point on it being a discrete and small number of results but some of them, which I will not ventilate here because they do not deserve an airing, are incredibly disruptive and would be potentially disruptive in the political realm as well as in other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: Of course Google does. Mr. Meade would never be hanged for that answer. Everyone who comes in here would say they want to launch as safe a product as possible. This does not necessarily mean that the product is safe. I take the point, however. I have some general questions and I am conscious of the time limits. I will ask our guests about the mindsets in respect of AI, which is a subject...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: There is, and my question is how we do it. Industry will have to do the heavy lifting but it will need partners in education and politics, etc.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. I have a question on the Digital Economy and Society Index, DESI, which was published in 2023 and which drew on data from 2020. It shows that 22.7% of businesses in Ireland with more than ten employees are using big data, 47% are using the cloud and only 7.9% are using AI. How do we ensure the adoption of generative AI, classical AI, machine learning and automation...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I am not sure I will need all seven minutes. To follow up on a point made previously, will our guests from Amazon confirm that the company has not received a request to recognise a trade union? Is that right?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

I want to ask about the reference that was made to productivity improvements and automation. Although he is not here now, Mr. McCorry also made reference to protecting workers from the potential negative use of AI. What is each company doing or prepared to do to make sure that workers are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I have a couple of questions for everybody and my first question is for Mr. Meade. Concern has been expressed in the US about AI Overviews. Much of what I have read shows that the latter gives results that can be seen as misleading, such as adding glue to a pizza to keep the cheese on it. More seriously, it returns results which state that serial killers and nuclear war have benefits....
