Artificial Intelligence
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-23
============================================================

Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

To give the Minister an example, we had the major consultancy firms in before the committee. They have every staff member now going through a process of understanding and equipping themselves to deal with the disruption, and opportunity, indeed, of artificial intelligence. Will the Minister consider putting some of his senior staff through a programme such as that in order to build the capacity and the capacity to anticipate? This is going to break on us at such a pace that conventional ways of planning educational programmes will be blown out of the water. We need to think differently about this challenge.
