With concerns mounting over the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs, a new Oireachtas committee is stepping up to address not just the risks but also the opportunities that AI could bring to Irish society. Recently announced, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Committee has become a focal point for many, sparking significant interest across various sectors.
Fianna Fáil TD Malcolm Byrne has been appointed as the chair of the Oireachtas AI Committee. In an interview with BreakingNews.ie, Byrne shared that the committee’s mission will be to explore the profound effects AI will have on multiple aspects of Irish life, including agriculture, healthcare, and transport.
As AI continues to evolve, many worry about its impact on jobs and the economy. However, this new committee aims to take a broader perspective, examining not only the potential risks but also the opportunities that AI might offer. The committee’s work will play a crucial role in shaping how Ireland adapts to the AI revolution, ensuring that the nation can harness the technology’s benefits while managing its challenges responsibly.
