What are our responsibilities?

But you're right.

I mean, I think what you're pointing out is an industry that until recently, at least, has been sort of being nascent.

It just wasn't a totally mature.

I mean, that's my pitch.

So, for example, we have Super Bowl and World Cup coming to San Jose this year.

We just hosted Super Bowl, World Cup's coming.

We have six matches.

We have actually March Madness this week.

And I went around to our local employers and asked them to contribute to a fan experience to make it open and accessible to all of our residents so that even –

Residents who couldn't afford a ticket to one of the big games could have a great experience.

We raised about $5 million from local employers, mostly tech employers, but not all view that as being their sort of civic responsibility.

I'll give you another example I'm really proud of.

We've created something called AI for All.

I am concerned, as I think most people are, that AI is coming quickly.

It's very powerful.

It could do a lot of good.

It could also do a lot of harm.

We reached out to and convinced three of the leading AI companies, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, to actually partner with our library system to make their tools freely accessible along with tutorials, in-person trainings.

and really try to open up this technology and make it accessible for all of our residents.
