So I certainly think that the inference market is going to increase and grow and derive huge benefit for society and for Ireland.

I think there's quite a few large technology companies that are looking to support the US government and, look, the global economy with investment in organizations that can sort of manage social media platforms for the greater good.

I'm not worried about the oligarchs or the tech pros, if you call them.

I'm certainly honestly worried about the race around AGI, so Advanced General Intelligence.

So the whole thing about that is you're going to have AI models and agents that are akin or maybe more superior than human intelligence.

And when you have these models, who governs, who owns, do the West govern?

first win the battle to AGI?

Is it China?

So guardrails around that is more critical than tech bros.

So I think, you know, somebody first has to get there and then whoever gets there is going to lead the way and set the guardrails and the societal changes and impacts and regulation that's going to be required to keep that in a way operating that can be good for society versus hinder progress in society.
