Well, thank you for saying that, because it is like it's so hard to write a book that I've turned it from a noun to a verb.

Like to book is really difficult.

It's an intense endeavor for anyone that ever wants to write a book.

Again, we both understood AI could be a solution to a problem.

Because we had been, prior to AI going mainstream, really pushing this idea of a skills-first labor market.

How do we make it more possible to match talent and opportunity around the skills a person has and the skills that a job needs done?

And so we saw it as something that could advance that cause.

And then we started seeing around us this conversation build and build and build that was so charged, that was so emotional, that was fueling so much fear.
