Now, let's look at that, though, because there is an upskilling divide here as well.

Just 57% of Irish workers have access to the learning and development resources they need at work.

So I thought about that and I thought, why would it be?

And I'll flip it around again, like you're encouraging me to do, which is a good idea.

Why is it that 43% of people would say they don't?

Is it that they don't have the resources, Leisha?

Or is it that they don't know what they want?

Or is it that they don't have the time to implement them even if they did?

And speaking of adapting, we've already talked about Gen AI and to be fair, that is far more widespread than a Gentic.

And another element from the survey here is that AI agents are used 3% in Ireland and 6% globally.

Now, I know we might have the excitement divide and you and I can work on that, but that is a very, very low percentage.

Is that because there's a lot less language models or a lot less training have been done on agents?

Is it because it's newer?

What is it that leads to that?

So what I'm hearing you saying, though, is that it's less about talking to an AI chatbot that can annoyingly give me the wrong answer and more into personalisation and almost predictive as well, particularly like saying these are the things you need to avoid in taking your annual leave.

It's been fascinating to talk to you.

And I have to say that the survey and the reporting around it is very, very good.

So thank you very much indeed for joining me.
