A National Conversation on Artificial Intelligence: #DiscussAI

The Research Ireland ADAPT Centre launched #DiscussAI, a national conversation on AI in Ireland, in summer 2021. Since then, over 80,000 people from communities nationwide have engaged with 150 researchers through dialogue-driven events and learning activities. Many of these events were co-created with groups historically underrepresented in science and technology conversations.

By fostering AI awareness, literacy, and trust, #DiscussAI is helping to ensure that public voices actively shape the future of AI innovation and policy in Ireland.

Aims

#DiscussAI aims to enable people in Ireland to:

  • • Learn about AI and develop core AI literacy skills
  • • Contribute to a national dialogue on AI
  • • Have a voice on this vital area of research

It also aims to strengthen citizens’, scientists’ and policy makers’ familiarity with diverse points of view related to AI.
