Why AI Right exists

Built from research. Shaped by real organisations.

AI Right™ was founded by Patrick Shields, bringing together more than 20 years of executive leadership experience across Ireland, the United States, Canada and Australia with current doctoral research into AI adoption among SMEs and independent organisations. A Past President and Board Director of Chambers of Commerce, Patrick has spent much of his career working with and alongside the kinds of organisations AI Right was created to support.

The reality

AI adoption is already happening. The question is whether your organisation is managing it.

People are already using tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Claude, and AI features keep appearing inside software you already pay for, often before anyone has agreed a policy, an owner or a way forward.

The SME adoption gap

Large enterprises using AI

57.7%

Small enterprises using AI

17.2%

Enterprise level figures for Ireland, not a measure of how many employees use AI.

The strategy gap

Multinationals with an AI strategy

50%

SMEs with an AI strategy

10%

Irish research shows AI adoption growing faster than structured, strategic adoption, with SMEs particularly at risk of falling behind larger organisations.

AI is already happening inside organisations

61% of managers reported AI being used even where its use was officially restricted. Visibility and ownership matter more than any single document.

80%

reported employees using free AI tools without built-in enterprise security controls.

The challenge is turning individual experimentation into organised, strategic adoption. That's what AI Right is built for.

Responsible AI use

Your team is using AI.
Do you know how?

Can they put company data into ChatGPT? Which tools are approved? Who checks AI-generated work? What happens when someone is unsure?

AI literacy obligations under the EU AI Act have applied since February 2025. With regulatory oversight now operational, responsible AI use is becoming an organisational responsibility, not simply an individual choice.

AI Right gives you one place to set the rules, guide your people and maintain oversight.

  • Set clear AI guidance
  • Give staff somewhere to turn
  • Maintain leadership oversight
Opportunity discovery

What could this look like in your business?

AI Right helps surface relevant AI opportunities for your organisation, while giving your team a simple way to suggest opportunities from the work they know best.

Hospitality

Explore opportunities such as analysing guest feedback, supporting marketing, improving internal communications or reducing repetitive administration.

Professional services

Identify where AI could support research, document preparation, client communications, knowledge management or routine administrative work.

Retail and multi-site businesses

Explore opportunities across customer service, scheduling, purchasing, marketing, reporting and operational administration.
