We have a very good relationship with Europeans.

Absolutely.

We work very, very closely with them.

And we're committed to supporting compliance in all of those frameworks.

We obviously work both sides of the Atlantic to get to a globally coherent approach to how we regulate digital and digital services.

But at the end of the day, we operate in many, many countries.

We operate to local laws and we have always done that and we are committed to continuing to do that.

And we also are committed to ensuring that our products meet the highest levels of safety and privacy and also transparency in conjunction with all of those laws and regulations.

I think that there needs to be global collaboration to make sure that we step into this with everyone gaining the same level of competitive advantage as each other.

And I think working across global links is really important to achieving that.

Look, I think Satya has been very vocal in terms of his commitment to ensuring he steps into the AI space in a very compliant and transparent way.

He's put security as number one priority from a company point of view.

And the investment that we've put into, you know, compliance, security, transparency and stepping into this technology in a safe way, I think is very well documented.

And I think that that probably states, you know, exactly where we are in terms of our our ethical approach to developing AI and rolling out the technology to our customers.

So, I mean, Microsoft has a very strong sustainability agenda.

And actually, Joe, by the end of this year, we will be powering all our global data centres with 100% renewable energy, which is ahead of schedule.

We also signed a number of corporate power purchase agreements from an Ireland point of view, where we deliver clean energy back into the grid.

So we basically help to decarbonise the grid rather than create islands of power for different things.

I think, look, digital infrastructure is a very necessary part of building any economy.

It's necessary to build innovation and to step into this new world of AI.
