💯 agree with Billy Ryle in today’s Sindo.
Can’t put the cart before the horse. We need real and full consultation involving all stakeholders before AACs become reality. #PressPause #edchatie

Ireland considering hosting global AI summit Consideration is being given to Ireland hosting a global artificial intelligence summit next year, similar to an event which was held in Paris in February.

Ireland has a golden opportunity to lead on AI. With the EU Presidency next year, hosting a global AI summit would put us on the front foot. We can’t sit back. It’s time to step up and shape the conversation. 🇮🇪🤖 #AISummit #EU2026 #AILeadership

Just published "My Key Takeaways from Yesterday's Oireachtas AI Committee Session"

As someone who's been raising AI concerns in education for two years, it was fascinating to finally hear politicians voice the same urgent questions. 🎯

The Alarming AI Training Gap in Irish Education 🤯

Hard to believe that the most transformative technology in the history of education—perhaps even the world—has been so neglected in our schools.

TUI survey of 1000 teachers confirm what many of us have witnessed firsthand. #edchatie #aieducation

Looking forward to presenting “How I regained my work life balance with AI” this Wednesday at the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise @DiscoverCAFRE Loughry Campus, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone. #edchatie #aieducation #edchat

🚨 "The main danger facing Irish education is not AI itself, but the continued hesitation from government and educational leadership to provide clear and practical guidance."

From my article in the Spring/Summer edition of "Leader" magazine for the @napdie.bsky.social #aieducation #edchatie

“Teachers will not teach what they do not know.” - from my interview In today’s @irishexaminer.bsky.social with Jess Kelly

But bigger questions remain:
🎼 Is AI a creative tool or a replacement?
🎼 Can it ever match human emotion & artistry?

Broadly what you say—but it’s also about ensuring teachers understand AI (many don’t), can guide students in its ethical use, and prepare them for a world where AI will be ubiquitous. That’s harder to convey on a platform like this, but I’ve been v clear on this across articles, talks etc.

Is breathing space too much to ask to get this right? 🤷‍♂️ As is - it’s doing students and teachers a terrible disservice.

As I told @edmatters4all.bsky.social ,Irish educators are being "severely hamstrung" by lack of govt AI education policy. Optional training isn't enough—every teacher needs full, mandatory and ongoing AI training for the most transformative technology in our history. #LCReform #AIEducation #edchatie
