I absolutely love the fact that you've pinpointed that there's a lot of fear out there.

But I'd also caution people, this is very new in its maturity cycle.

There's a lot of the dialogue or the rhetoric has been shaped by commercial entities.

There's a lot of AI products out there.

Quite a few of the household names are what you're aware they're going to be floating live and they'll be

very profitable flotations.

So when there's a public discourse, I think it's important to remember there's a lot of influencers.

From an organisation point of view, there's certainly opportunity.

And I think if we've learned anything about AI, AI is hugely dependent on the quality of the data.

So the better your data, the better the AI results for you.

It's something that it's coming.

I think we all have to prepare ourselves.

And I do think, Jez, we're actually very lucky as EU members that there is a very robust framework in place, which I would really welcome.

Well, I know the attitude that a lot of organisations are taking is very cautious and they are using tenancy.

So most organisations in the public sector in Ireland have some instance of Microsoft.

And that does allow you an element of something like a cap over your organisation.

You have a tenancy there.

So you can actually use the AI Microsoft tools to keep the data.

You have some element of security, you know that it's being kept within the boundaries of your organisation.

And that's a very professional organisational perspective to take.
