Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being here today to testify in our study on AI and its implications for employment and the labour force.
Ms. Janssen, if I can, I'll start with you. I really enjoyed your testimony. I loved that you used ChatGPT to help you through this. It's an interesting tool. I see it happening as well with our students in education, using it as a tool.
One of the things you talked about is fear of the change, and that is almost a human psychology thing. We've seen this, as you mentioned, throughout time. It's natural evolution; it's inevitable progression to move forward.
In the past, what was the defining factor that pushed it forward? Do you have any sort of historical reference for that? You talked about the mechanical loom. When we look at vehicles and airplanes, we see that so many people resisted that change, but it ultimately increased prosperity. It did not replace jobs.
