Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Smith, we've heard that, with the change in the workforce, there is the whole issue related to training. As the organization seeks to implement AI in different parts of the organization, beyond some of those areas you've highlighted for the committee, can you advise what the municipality is doing in terms of training employees, either for job transformation or the whole issue related to job security?
We've witnessed many issues in the U.S. in terms of the United Auto Workers and employees striking to ensure that automation isn't replacing jobs in the workforce. All of us read with interest, at the heart of the Hollywood writers strike, how AI impacted job security there in language that was part of their collective agreements.
How is AI being communicated to the workforce? What kind of training do you have in place that might prepare employees whose jobs may be impacted by AI? Can you elaborate on those issues for us?
