Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation

============================================================

Robert Troy (FF), Longford-Westmeath

The Tánaiste will be aware that Ireland is one of the first countries to launch an artificial intelligence, AI, strategy, AI - Here For Good, which sets out the high-level direction on how best to use the positivities of AI. One of the three core principles is ensuring good governance to build trust and confidence. Given that the EU has commenced the legislative process to introduce a regulatory framework for the use of AI, does the Tánaiste agree that it would be premature to push ahead with facial recognition technology in advance of having that regulatory framework in place?
