Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-22
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

The Minster of State is welcome to the House. I thank my Fianna Fáil colleagues for introducing this motion, although they seem slightly obsessed with AI and its use for elections and the like. Let us be honest about it: I can think of no situation where we will have an artificially intelligent Minister of State sitting in front of us answering questions in the House. As such, we as politicians will not be easily replaced by AI at any time in the foreseeable future.
