How do I think about leveraging it to help improve the algorithm?

But what we've really got to be focusing on today, right, is how do we think about the entire ecosystem?

I'm playing in multiple universes.

What is that consumer experience like?

I believe this year, instead of when you download the app and you hit a wall that says pay now, you'll see in the future people pushing short form content as a way to discover, as a way to engage consumers, a new way to engage a conversation.

That data from there begins to inform how I get a cold start.

So how do I, when I first go into that experience, how is it customized for me, right?

How do I ensure that I'm going to be able to retain that consumer?

then all those interactions over time also become part of this greater ecosystem that says, now I know what to serve you, how to engage you, how to retain you, and how to reach you on other platforms.

That's really when we begin to think about the value of what AI can deliver when it's managed as an ecosystem.

We've talked a lot about chips and robots and consumer gadgets.

I think it would be really helpful to give your kind of media and entertainment experience of what it's been like at CES.

Very conscious, a lot of the advertisers are here, very conscious that actually the mode in which you consume that content is on display.

What has it been like for you?

Yes, for us, as discussed a little bit earlier,

It used to be very discrete investments that we were seeing across the AI spectrum.

I think today people are thinking about how do I look at AI as foundational to the way I operate with my technology and with my consumers?

And that's the big shift, I think, in the mindset.

And now they're coming to us and looking for solutions that scale at huge enterprise across multiple ecosystems.

That's been the big shift for us.
