Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Regulation of the Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026
Introduction
The American Chamber of Commerce Ireland (AmCham) is pleased to contribute to the Committee’s public consultation on the pre-legislative scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Regulation of the Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026.
AI Regulation
As home to many leading technology companies, Ireland holds a key position as a regulatory hub within the EU. This is of critical importance, particularly in relation to AI advancement and the competitiveness of Ireland and the broader European Union.
With ongoing developments in AI policy across the EU and Ireland’s forthcoming Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Ireland has an opportunity to position itself as a global leader on AI regulation and governance, supporting innovation and adoption of AI and enabling all of society to benefit from the benefits AI will provide.
