Accountants? Accountants. Lawyers? Yes. I mean, I've just pulled a ligament in my foot and they did an MRI scan and I had to wait a couple of days for someone to look at the MRI scan and tell me what it meant. I'm guessing that's gone.

So just to give you some stats here as well, about 50% of Americans who have a college degree currently use AI. The stats are significantly lower for Americans without a college degree. So you can see how a splinter might emerge there and that crack will widen because people like us at this table are all messing around with it.

But my mum and dad in Plymouth in the southwest, rural England, haven't got, like, they just figured out iPhones. So, like, I got them an iPhone, and now they're, like, texting me back, AI is a million miles away. And if I start running off with my AGI and my agents, that gap is going to widen.

Women are disproportionately affected by automation, which is what you were talking about there, with about 80% of working women in an at-risk job compared to just over 50% of men, according to the Harvard Business Review. And jobs requiring only a high school diploma have an automation risk of 80%, while those requiring a bachelor's degree have an automation risk of just 20%.

I was actually thinking, interestingly, that this might not be great for the United States or the UK, the Western world, because it is going to be a leveler. When our kid in India doesn't need a Silicon Valley office and $7 million in investment to throw up a software company, basically. Right.

We also always underestimate a technology if it does go on to change history. When you look back through cars, horses, planes, the Wright brothers just thought of a plane as being something that the army could use. They had no idea of the application. So someone said to me recently, they said, when it does change the world, we underestimate the impact that it will change the world.

And I see people now with their estimations of AI agents already incredibly optimistic. And so if history holds here, we are undershooting the impact it's going to have. And I think this is the first time in my life where the industrial revolution analogies seem to fall a little bit short.
