Ireland considering hosting global AI summit
The Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence is expected to hear today that the Government is giving consideration to Ireland hosting a Global AI Summit next year, similar to an event which was held in Paris in February. The AI Action Summit saw world leaders, tech CEOs and academics gathering to discuss how to safely embrace AI. The conference highlighted the divisions that exist between the EU and the US when it comes to the regulation of the technology. The AI Committee will today hear from the Minister of State for Trade Promotion, AI and Digital Transformation Niamh Smyth. "We look forward to engaging with the Minister about her plans for Ireland's EU Presidency and how Ireland can lead on AI innovation globally," said Cathaoirleach of the Committee Malcolm Byrne. Ms Smyth will also discuss Ireland's National AI Strategy "AI: Here For Good," which was published in 2021 and updated in November 2024. The EU Artificial Intelligence Act, and its implementation in Ireland, is also on the agenda. "The Committee looks forward to discussing the strategy and the EU AI Act in depth and the implementation of stringent conditions on AI systems for this revolutionary technology to work effectively in areas such as biometric identification, decision-making for public and private services and benefits and machinery," Mr Byrne said.
