It's a very broad topic. We know that some of the greatest advances in AI have been made here in Canada, and we have leaders in AI in Toronto, Montreal and Alberta. However, when we look at how AI is being used by our businesses, we see that AI use here is below the average use made by American businesses. That said, I hope that AI can increase our productivity rate.
As I pointed out in my speech, it will take time, because there are uncertainties. In the short term, it will also increase demand for workers with skills in various fields such as electrical and digital. As a central bank, we try to understand all the effects and maintain price stability. Having said that, I think this is an opportunity for Canada. We have AI creators here in Canada, so we should be taking advantage of that.
