Welcome to the Science4Parliament podcast.
This is the first podcast that aims to foster the relationship between science and decision makers and show how research and innovation are vital to the equitable and sustainable functioning of our societies and economies.
It is presented by Denis Naughten, a directly elected member of parliament in Ireland for the last 26 years, who has served as an Irish cabinet minister, and on the Council of the European Union ministers. He is chairperson of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Working Group on Science and Technology, based in Geneva, which aims to inspire global parliamentary action through legislative work in the field of science and technology.
The podcast aims to highlight the work of innovative scientists and to get their perspective of what needs to be done to bring the world of science and policy closer together.
To add something different to the conversation each guest is asked to pick two numbers, each of which is related to one of 10 random questions, some of which will be asked during the interview.
On today's show, Denis talks about the economic, social, and ethical implications of law-tech in the legal services market with Dr. Ronan Kennedy, Senior lecturer in the University of Galway. Dr. Kennedy spent three months as a Researcher in Residence in the Irish parliament in 2021, as part of the Science Foundation Ireland Public Service Fellowship programme, and produced a report on the effects of algorithms, big data, and AI on legal services.
Dr Kennedy's report is available here - Spotlight Report
