Ireland’s AI Future: Regulation, Job Fears & Public Sector Strikes

I'm particularly concerned for young graduates coming out of college and the lack of opportunities for them.

Yeah, huge concerns about AI, and particularly from a geopolitical [laughs] perspective, the people who are controlling it.

You'd, you'd be wary of what's gonna happen w- with, you know, ending the world kind of thing, you know? So we don't, don't know enough about it-

Yeah

... really, so yeah, it's a bit-

Yeah

... we could be gone, and then all the jobs will be gone as well.

It's double-edged sword, because whenever you're in a work environment, there are lots of jobs that are definitely made easier and facilitated by AI, yeah.

I, I think that you need to be very savvy whenever you're studying now because you're... you, you need to kind of think 10 years in the future or five years, you know, what jobs will be negatively impacted by AI.

I, I work as an actor, so all the great performances in the future will be artificial or whatever, but I think people eventually will rebel against that, and they'll know that, like, the difference.

That's what I hope, anyway.

I find it quite handy.

Okay.

Um, bit faster than doing it yourself, I think.

Everything kind of comes together.

They do good images.

So yeah, I, I recommend them, I'd say.

Yeah.

Eventually, it'll affect us all at some level, AI.

You know, but what can we do about it? It's a, it's a snowball that's started rolling, and it's not gonna stop.

Are you wor-

I don't know, mate
