It's a wait-and-see space, but obviously there's a lot of anxiety.

I think if the pushback comes from the public on this in a political sense, it'll be because of the job destruction or it'll be because of some social crisis that we don't know.

Massive privacy breaches, massive data breaches, things like that that I think that people are quite anxious about.

I think for a lot of people, when they look at AI, they don't know.

I made it a mission for me in the summer of 25 to actually take a lot of courses online and to try to capture AI as a tool and a weapon to be used in my life for my personal growth and job opportunities and to get a real handle on this and what it means.

And I found that, frankly, half the stuff that I learned has already shifted and it's now new stuff and it's a new tool.

So the ground is shifting so dramatically and all that.

But I can tell you that...

so I worked at a law firm where like one of the biggest law firms around, and I can tell you that they have regular meetings about, uh, what this means for example, for in the cannibalization of the legal industry in this country, because what, what used to be, you know, uh, get a lawyer, a smart lawyer who you trust and sit down and, and bounce some questions off them, have them on a monthly retainer, uh, can now, you can throw in, uh, you know, ask a whole bunch of questions with, you know, what would the Ontario securities commission think about the transfer of, uh,

share units from this person to that person in this ownership structure, et cetera.

And you can enter it and it'll give you an answer and it might be right.

It might be wrong, but it'll, it'll generally give you an answer that's in the right direction.

You can throw in all kinds of legal questions into AI, into a couple of different engines, and you can get back a bunch of answers.

And then you average out the, those answers and you would, you kind of for free get what would cost you probably $50,000 in legal advice in a month.

That kind of cannibalization of the legal service sector is massive.

And law firms are struggling to try to find that.

It's happening with accounting as well.

It's happening with all kinds of things.

I know companies that I work with who take their entire report from their independent auditors and put the entire report and drop it into an AI engine and say, what are the flaws and the weaknesses in our analysis?

And it'll spit out 45%
