That's a person named Ami Vora.

And so now we have those folks working on new products.

And this is all in the context of the recent release of CoWork, which, using Cloud Code, the Anthropic team delivered in under two weeks.

So a pretty impressive accomplishment and really changing the game on productization of AI, just as it's possible for you using Vibe coding tools to create a new product

a new software product or an interactive experience product on the web using a vibe coding tools.

All right.

So let's, let's move on to another area of discussion that I want to pursue, which is, you know, what is the state of AI adoption in the general working population and Microsoft's AI economy Institute just a few days ago, released a new report showing that globally the,

AI adoption in the working age population is at 16.3% in late 2025.

So only 16% have adopted.

And you can imagine why, you know, globally that's, that seems like a low number globally.

but not so much because there's a lot of people who just aren't literate enough or have access to the AI infrastructure tools like a computer and internet access to really start the adoption process.

But that's very, very widely distributed in terms of those percentages.

The United Arab Emirates is the highest level of adoption among working age population at 64%.

And would we expect that the United States, with all of its AI systems and Silicon Valley and development, all the major players, including the chip designer, NVIDIA, our American companies, you would think that we would be next in line behind the United Arab Emirates with their 64%.

Want to guess where we rank?

24th in the world.

And so we're not really keeping up that way on the public side, the working age population compared to other countries that are really promoting and advancing the use of AI.

All right.

The other thing that came out of that Microsoft AI Economy Institute report, which is interesting, is that deep seek has major traction in the smaller and underserved markets out there.

And that's a cost issue, obviously, like many of the adopters of AI here in the United States and in Europe and elsewhere are paying for.
