Robert Troy T.D., have launched Ireland’s first National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy, ‘AI – Here for Good’. AI is part of a suite of digital technologies which will be critical drivers of productivity and competitive advantage for Ireland over the next five years.
The National AI Strategy will serve as a roadmap for how Ireland can leverage the potential of AI for unlocking productivity, for addressing societal challenges, and for delivering public services. It envisions a future for Ireland as an international leader in using AI to the benefit of business, public services, and – most importantly – for people, through a people-centered, ethical approach to AI development, adoption and use.
The vision of this strategy is to make Ireland an international leader in using AI to the benefit of our population, through a people-centred, ethical approach to AI development, adoption and use. That includes
- Building resilience
- Being better skilled and more productive
- Grasping the opportunities presented by AI to overcome the challenges ahead
- Ensuring to successfully navigate the twin transition to a digital and low carbon future.
Speaking at the launch, the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin T.D. said: “An important opportunity exists to reap significant opportunities from AI for society and the economy, though an ecosystem of innovation, excellence and trust. This Artificial Intelligence Strategy presents a framework for achieving this across enterprise and the public sector, including through skills, infrastructure, and appropriate governance.”
