Where you'll find AI
Already firmly a part of everyday life in Ireland, Artificial intelligence (AI) generally works in the background of products and services you use online. Businesses and public services, for example, can use AI to improve efficiency around processing applications and answering common queries.
Learning how and where it is used is important when it comes to making informed choices about many of the tools you use daily.
For example, you may already be using AI when you:
Receive personalised recommendations on streaming or shopping platforms.
Plan journeys using real-time traffic and public transport information.
Chat with a customer service chatbot online.
Translate languages or use speech-to-text tools.
Unlock your phone using facial recognition
AI today and tomorrow
AI is developing quickly and will soon play a larger role in many services including healthcare, education and energy.
To ensure its safe use, the new EU AI Act, sets out clear rules around how AI is developed and used. The rules ban the most harmful uses of AI and set strict requirements to protect people’s safety or rights.
The AI Office of Ireland is the national body responsible for coordinating how these rules are applied in Ireland. Read more about the AI Office.
