Lero, Ireland's software research centre, is collaborating with Genesys, a global cloud leader in AI-powered Experience Orchestration, on a €550k joint research initiative to enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems used in customer engagement. Lero Director Professor Lionel Briand of the University of Limerick explains that increasingly, customer care softwarerelies on AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), to power virtual agents' interactions with consumers and support human agents in handling interactions. ß? "AI can deliver faster, more informed responses and support better customer experiences," he said. "However, like any complex system, they can present challenges related to contextual accuracy and operational oversight. This project focuses on developing methods to strengthen safeguards and improve overall system dependability." "Our goal is to enhance the scalability and real-time performance of safeguards such as input filtering and output moderation to ensure high standards of accuracy, efficiency and safety in LLM-based systems," Professor Briand explained. The collaboration will help Genesys advance the principles of ethical AI, including accountability, transparency, andfairness, by providing innovative approaches to monitoring and improving AI behaviour in real-world environments. "Trust is foundational for AI adoption," said Joe Smyth, Senior Vice President of Research and Development, Digital and AI at Genesys, and leader of its R&D Centre in Galway. "Through this collaboration with Lero, we aim to further strengthen the traceability and accountability of AI systems to advance their responsible use in orchestrating increasingly complex customer experience applications."

John Maher, Grass10 Manager, and John Leahy, dairy farmer in Athea, Co. Limerick, join Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge to discuss applying lime. Despite difficult weather a few weeks ago, things have improved, John explains, and ground conditions, rotation length and money in the bank will allow people to spread lime. John outlines that we are very short of where we should be in terms of lime applied to where we should be. It's more than 40 years since we spread over 2 million tonnes of lime which is what we should be applying. John Leahy tells of his experience of increasing the pH on his farm. He went after it hard at the start and got it up to where it should be now and he's at the point where 20-40t keeps him on point each year. John also outlines how he went after the lime as he felt he could spend a lot of money on fertiliser with little return. He has gotten a phenomenal response to his lime applications.  His soil fertility has taken nearly 10 years to get right but he got his lime right from the start.Opportunities will present themselves, people need to take them, he says. For a list of suppliers of lime go to: https://www.grolime.ie/ For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com
