Now they're saying, not in my backyard.

What about that?

Is that an issue?

Yeah, because Michael, this race has fast become, it's moved from an AI race to a power race.

But some companies, because they don't have the cash right now, are borrowing money, right, to build out the data centers.

And there's also a worry that the banks will be left holding the bag for some of this because, again, the spending is too much.

Your thoughts on that?

Let's go back to the uses and how AI is changing our lives.

You mentioned earlier all of the uses and the impact that AI is having.

What do you see as the most important use and where AI is being deployed and implemented best right now?

So so what kind of breakthroughs would you expect or would you like to see?

And on an everyday level, I mean, you also have the auto sector, I think, as a big beneficiary here.

I think that's one area that seems to be spending a lot on this as well.

Do you agree with that?

What about an AI assistant?

I mean, is that going to be something that is sort of commonplace?

Someone said to me the other day that, oh, in China, we're doing things so much differently because you're using AI for research, as you said, but we're using it as I have my AI assistant and I'm, you know, they're paying my bills and cleaning my house and buying my wife a birthday present and doing everything for me.

Michael, what don't people understand about AI?

What do you think is most important for us to understand about the innovation underway right now with science and AI?

Which is why we're watching what China is doing.
