Thank you.

If I have time, I'd like to switch to Dr. LaPlante.

In January 2021 you co-authored an article in RBC Capital Markets, “Ensuring AI Remains a Force for Good”. You talk about the Respect AI program as a way to build public trust. One of the ways you indicate this can be done is by using technology to expose bias.

Back to my colleague Mr. Fergus's question about the technology that's capturing the images, can you provide the committee with some ideas or examples on how technology can be used to root out these inherent biases?
