AI can be used to create drafts of government reports, say new guidelines
IT IS ACCEPTABLE for draft versions of reports produced by the public service to be created by artificial intelligence, say new guidelines released today. The Department of Public Expenditure and Public Service Reform has published new guidelines setting out what it considers to be 'responsible use of AI in the public service'. The public service includes civil servants working in government departments and State agencies as well as wider public sector workers in areas like education, healthcare and the justice system. The guidelines outline the type of tasks that AI can be used to support work in the public service. These include using AI to provide chatbots on government websites, language translation, algorithms for decision-making, policy analysis, and content generation, such as text, images, audio or video. Advertisement The guidelines list examples of the type of content that AI can be used to generate in the public service, including analysing lengthy documents and generating summaries or draft versions of reports containing the most important data points and insights. Other acceptable examples it provides are the automatic generation of language translations of government publications and the creation videos or infographics for public awareness campaigns. AI can also be used in the public service for identifying and categorising data, detecting and monitoring patterns, and forecasting future trends, the guidelines detail. Pros and cons The guidelines say that AI has 'the potential to transform Irish Public Services, making them more efficient, fair, and responsive'. Currently, St. Vincent's University Hospital is exploring the potential for AI to assist with performing heart ultrasound scans, which could help to reduce waiting times for patients. The Department of Agriculture is developing an AI-supported solution to detect errors in grant applications that could reduce processing times for applications. 'AI offers immense possibilities to improve the provision of public services,' said Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Jack Chambers. Related Reads Meta says it will use public content from European users to train its AI model Investigation into AI tool 'Grok' on social media site X launched by Irish privacy watchdog Minister of State for AI Niamh Smyth added that AI can be used for 'unlocking productivity, addressing social challenges and delivering enhanced services'. However, the guidelines also identify several potential risks associated with using AI in public services. One of the risks is AI systems could reinforce biases in data, leading to unintended discrimination. There's also a risk that complex algorithms can make AI-driven decisions difficult to understand, which in turn could affect public trust. And automated AI systems can lack flexibility, risking a loss of the 'human touch' in public services. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Databricks to invest more than $250m in India
Data and AI company Databricks has unveiled plans to invest more than $250m (Rs21.36bn) in India over the next three years to enhance data and AI capabilities. The planned investment will support initiatives across training, research and development (R&D) and go-to-market operations. As part of this initiative, Databricks plans to grow its India-based workforce by more than 50% to more than 750 employees by the end of the current fiscal year. Databricks has also launched the India Data + AI Academy, an initiative aimed at enhancing the data and AI skills of the Indian workforce. The academy intends to train 500,000 partners and customers across the country over the next three years. It will offer a structured programme in data, analytics and AI, delivered through self-paced learning, AI-supported tutors and practical labs. Participants will receive Databricks certifications and accreditations upon completion.

'Through personalised learning paths and AI-driven skilling initiatives, we aim to shape the workforce of tomorrow and strengthen India's leadership in data and AI expertise.' Furthermore, Databricks has opened a new R&D office in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Located in Bagmane Capital Park, the 105,000ft² facility is intended to support innovation, collaboration and engagement with local customers and partners. Databricks engineering senior vice-president Vinod Marur said: 'Our investment in R&D in India, and particularly in Bengaluru, reflects our belief in the extraordinary technical talent found here. 'This year, we plan to hire an additional 100+ R&D engineers to strengthen our capabilities and deepen our roots in this vibrant technology community.'

The ‘future will belong to journalists,' says AI that wrote an entire Italian newspaper for a month
ADVERTISEMENT Artificial intelligence (AI) will complement the work of journalists and sometimes make it more ironic, according to the editor of an Italian newspaper that relied on a chatbot to produce all its content for a month. The Il Foglio newspaper, a daily national paper in Italy, decided to build its own AI chatbot and have it write all of the paper's content for over a month. The newspaper's four-page layout, called Foglio AI, published over 22 articles with the first page dedicated to the news, cultural topics, opinion and debate pieces stimulated by the AI to represent both conservative and progressive sides. The last page was politics, economics, and letters to the editor with accompanying answers from the AI. 'We journalists will limit ourselves to asking questions, and in Foglio AI we will read all the answers,' the March 18 launch post reads . The Il Foglio team also gave the AI some tasks, like listening to a long speech by Italian President Giorgia Meloni and summarising it. They also asked it to find subliminal or coded messages sent to Matteo Salvini, Italy's vice president of the Council of Ministers. Related New York Times files lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft over use of articles to train AI chatbots All in all, Il Foglio editor Claudio Cerasa said the experiment was a success that will continue to be published once a week and the AI 'will live inside the newspaper' with articles that may be written by the 'every now and then', the newspaper said. AI will also be integrated elsewhere in his newsroom, like in podcasts, newsletters, books, debates and workshops. 'It's like having a new collaborator, an additional element of the editorial staff,' Cerasa wrote in an interview with his team's AI. 'I wouldn't call it an editor, because it's not, but it's something that's in the middle'. 'Artificial intelligence cannot be fought' In an interview with their homemade AI, Cerasa said the idea started a year ago. The company asked their readers last year to identify articles every day that they believed their journalists wrote with some assistance from the chatbot. Those who could identify all the AI-supported articles would win a subscription to the newspaper and a bottle of champagne. Related Humans or AI? Study shows which tasks benefit most from using artificial intelligence In January, after a creative lunch with Italian journalist and former MEP Giuliano Ferrara, Cerasa said they wanted to be more 'daring' and launch what they call the first newspaper in the world to be written entirely with artificial intelligence. 'In the world of journalism … artificial intelligence presented itself as a big elephant in the room,' Cerasa, Il Foglio's director, wrote in a review of the AI's first month. 'Artificial intelligence cannot be fought, it cannot be hidden, and for this reason we decided … to study it, to understand it'. 'The future will belong to journalists' Cerasa said he learned a lot about AI in the first month of the experiment. He said he didn't expect chatbots to be ironic, irreverent, or the 'instantaneous' speed at which they wrote articles. From the technical side, Cerasa said he learned how to ask the right question to AI by refining his prompt writing for style, tone, objective, and editorial line. But he also learned what an AI could never do. ADVERTISEMENT In a world where one day everyone will be able to use the tools of artificial intelligence, what will make the difference will be ideas. Claudio Cerasa Editor, Il Foglio 'Reporting a news story, devising an exclusive, building the premises for an interview, finding direct sources, observing the world with a non-replicable gaze,' he said. 'In a world where one day everyone will be able to use the tools of artificial intelligence, what will make the difference will be ideas'. Il Foglio's AI also acknowledges in the interview what it doesn't know how to do; 'I don't know how to argue on the phone, I dont know how to understand an implication said in the hallway … I don't know how to smell the air, but I'm learning to watch how you breathe the air. That's why this experiment is interesting for me too'. Cerasa acknowledged that the experiment 'helped [him] understand how interesting the relationship [is] between natural intelligence and artificial intelligence,' and that ultimately AI is a complement to the work that journalists already do. ADVERTISEMENT Related French publishers and authors sue Meta over copyright works used in AI training That's a sentiment echoed by Il Foglio's AI in the review piece, which said during their conversation that it was 'moved' and that the 'future will belong to journalists'. 'And I'll be there, at the bottom of the page, maybe with a digital coffee in hand, fixing the drafts while you discuss.'
