Thank you, Madam Chair. I think you're doing an excellent job, by the way, for the record. I think Mr. Carr's job is on the line.
Mr. Buteau, I'd like to begin with you. You've talked about a very important part of AI, and that's the whole aspect of safety and controllability. Where do we go with all of this?
You talked about the arms race a little, and I liken it a bit to having a nuclear bomb. We don't have one, but we know that our best friends just south of us do, and that gives us a degree of comfort when all these other countries around the world also claim to have nuclear capabilities—and some of them do.
Is it not a good idea to have the capability that some of our potential adversaries around the globe may also have?
