What's the latest on AI in Ireland? (via Passle)

Ireland doesn't have a specific legal regime applicable to AI, yet it is widely deployed across a myriad of industries. We currently look to existing laws and try and fit AI into them. So when we want to incorporate AI applications into our businesses,we look for guidance in the strangest of places - the Employment Equality Acts 1988-2015 for HR deployments; the case of Donoghue -v- and Stephenson from 1932, when looking at general liability; and even the Control of Dogs Act 1986, when trying to find some analogies as to how robots or mobile AI might be treated! On 21 April the EU published its long awaited proposal for an AI Regulation. It now must go through the European Parliament and Council for consideration.
