Yeah, we made that up.

How many years to replenish?

That's the question.

I think that's exactly the right question, too, Senator, because the time frame we were existing under was unacceptable.

On this week's AI on Podcast, we're diving into the new report from Trinity College and Microsoft that shows AI is already freeing up thousands of work hours every month across Irish organisations.

Ashish, thank you very much for joining us into the podcast today.

So let's jump in.
