Insights from the Founder of AI Ireland and AI Awards

Returning to UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School as a guest lecturer brought a profound sense of fulfillment, almost two decades after my own graduation. 

Standing at the lectern in a familiar yet transformed setting, it was a privilege to discuss the monumental impact of Artificial Intelligence in the business realm and its role in reshaping our global landscape.

As the founder of AI Ireland and the AI Awards, I have been at the forefront of witnessing AI’s evolutionary journey. This technology, once in its infancy during my academic years, now stands as a pillar of innovation and transformation in the business world. 

The opportunity to share these insights and developments with a new generation of scholars and future leaders was both an honour and a deeply personal experience.

The advancements in AI since my time at university have been staggering. The technology has revolutionised industries, ushered in groundbreaking innovations and redefined our approach to business challenges and opportunities.

Sharing my journey through the evolving AI landscape with the students at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School was an enriching experience. 

The students’ enthusiasm and keen interest in understanding the intricacies and potential of AI were truly inspiring. It is a great joy to engage with such bright, inquisitive minds, eager to explore the complexities and prospects of AI.

I am immensely thankful for the chance to give back to the institution that laid the groundwork for my career. My aspiration is that the insights imparted will motivate these emerging business leaders to adeptly navigate and influence the rapidly changing world of AI.

Looking to the future, AI’s role in business and society is set to expand even further. I eagerly anticipate seeing how these aspiring professionals will utilise this potent technology to drive innovation, craft sustainable solutions and positively transform our world.
