Deputy James Geoghegan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will identify any projects which a body under the aegis of his Department has underway with CeADAR, Ireland’s national centre for AI; if he will send this question to the bodies for direct response; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 76 and 77 together.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has no bodies under its aegis and has no projects underway with CeADAR. The Department is supportive of the Centre’s work and mandate, in particular its focus on helping organisations to adopt and leverage the value of AI and machine learning. The Department recently invited CeADAR to give a presentation for staff to learn more about the work of the Centre and its role in promoting AI throughout the public and private sectors.
