On February 16, 2026, the DCU Business School “Ethics for Business and Technology” students had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Fearghas Ó Béara (Head of Office, European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland) about “The EU Human-Centric Approach to Law-Making,” with specific reference to the EU AI Act.
Dr. Ó Béara’s lecture focused on the concrete efforts of the European Union to include our core values – especially human dignity – in the law-making process concerning AI.
He shared insights with the students not only on the EU AI Act as it stands today, but also on the extensive preparation and consultation process that took place over the years prior to its publication.
