Údarás na Gaeltachta looking to develop AI for Irish language

Debate on the future of AI in Ireland has come to the fore in recent months, with an oireachtas committee established in this Dáil for the first time.

State agency Údarás na Gaeltachta is looking to develop the capacity for AI technologies to communicate as Gaeilge, new documents have shown.

The body, which is responsible for the development of Irish-speaking regions of the country, is appointing consultants to provide guidance to its AI development team and support discussions with leading AI companies to advocate for Irish language service development.
