Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: Dr. Scanlon talks about labour displacement. It is just such a shame that we seem to have lost sight of the fact that automation should create more leisure time. Labour saving should be a good a thing, right? For me, it is around the degradation of work, the precarity of work and the deepening inequality in society because that quality of work which will be available to certain sections of...

Sinéad Gibney: Today has been very interesting to draw together some of the very different strands that we all prioritise. I still have real major concerns about the regulatory framework itself and how it is going to operate and will have some questions about all of this and a little bit about the witnesses' council. In some ways, the council has been given an inherently impossible job to do. It is just...

Sinéad Gibney: Dr. Scanlon previously mentioned that we did not legislate or regulate effectively to deal with algorithms being so rage baiting. What would have been the regulation that would have worked there?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: On the sycophantic slip-up, for example, does Dr. Scanlon think that having the regulatory framework that is being suggested, including the observatory and even the AI office she referred to, would have stopped it? Surely the Open AI systems are not going to be any better than those, or are they?

Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (19 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I welcome the opportunity to speak to today's legislation. While I welcome the Bill, I will speak to some of the broader issues it touches on and deals with and some of the issues that come before us today. They fall into the categories of fair remuneration for fair work, first and foremost, and some of the lessons we should be able to learn around the transposition of the legislation and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Directives (19 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I thank the Minister for his answer. I am glad to hear there are some elements still supported by the Government, but by removing the risk-based assessment for suppliers we are not identifying where the problems are. We cannot guarantee, then, that our clothes, food and phones are not made using slave labour or in factories like those at Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, whose collapse killed more...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Directives (19 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: The corporate sustainability and due diligence directive came about after years of collective work, consultation and engagement. My concern and that of the Social Democrats is that the omnibus proposals are really being rammed through without any consideration at the same level. Is the Minister in favour of all the measures cited in my question, particularly the risk-based assessment? Does...

Sinéad Gibney: 13. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment his Department’s position on the provisions currently contained in the Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence Directive which may be subject to alteration or removal as part of the EU Omnibus package relating to the risk-based approach to due diligence, harmonised civil liability regime, the requirement to put into effect...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Product Labelling (19 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: The Minister of State began by saying that the topic of the question is a matter for the Minister for Health, yet on 6 April the Minister for Finance mentioned this, on 1 May the Tánaiste mentioned it and on 8 April the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Burke, mentioned it. They all referred to this as a potential measure in the context of tariff mitigation. I will...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Product Labelling (19 Jun 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I have not had a drink of alcohol in thirteen and a half years. Alcohol and its negative impacts have played a huge part in my life. I say this and share it because there is hardly a family in Ireland which has not had the same experience. Once again, therefore, what is the Department's position? I know very well that I can seek an answer from the Minister for Health about her position,...
