Today, our CEO, Paul Byrne, met with Lucilla Sioli, Director of the European Commission’s AI Office, in Brussels. The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the importance of European cooperation in implementing the EU AI Act, supporting innovation and strengthening public trust in AI. As the AI Office of Ireland continues to develop, we look forward to building on this relationship and working closely with our European colleagues. #EUAIOffice #AIOfficeofIreland #AI #EUAIAct *AI Modified*
A very positive development for Ireland and for European cooperation in AI. Congratulations to the team at the AI Office of Ireland on this important engagement. From an education perspective, I believe Ireland has a tremendous opportunity to lead in developing responsible, ethical and innovative approaches to AI, particularly in our schools. As we work to strengthen digital literacy and AI competencies among teachers and pupils, collaboration between policymakers, educators and European institutions will be essential. Looking forward to seeing how the AI Office of Ireland develops and contributes to positioning Ireland as a leader in responsible AI innovation across Europe. #AIinEducation #DigitalPedagogy #ResponsibleAI #EUAIAct Paul Byrne Aoife Flanagan (Ní Fhlannagáin) Gareth Scahill Maurice B.

Encouraging to see this level of cooperation on AI development. Building public trust while supporting innovation and responsible implementation will be essential as AI becomes more integrated into industries and everyday life.
I believe any effort to operationalise regulation must be grounded in the realities of the industries that fall under it. Their processes and constraints determine whether the protections the regulation intends actually materialise in practice.
