Thanks for that. It's a very important question as well. First of all, I think AI represents an extraordinary opportunity for our national defence, for our security establishment officials. By the way, there is an extraordinary level of expertise and capability in Canada. I think Canada has much to offer. Perhaps we can talk about that later on in this meeting. Canada has much to offer to our allies in those capabilities.
At the same time, we also recognize that the responsible use of AI, particularly in military applications, is something that is going to require some international consensus. However, I'm in complete agreement with you. Some of our adversaries have demonstrated that they would thumb their noses at such conventions, and will not use AI in an ethical way. We have to make sure that we have the capability....
I think it is still incumbent upon us to make sure that we use it in an appropriate and ethical way, and in order to do that, we may have to make sure that people are at the heart of the decisions that we ultimately make with respect to how we engage in military activity. At the same time, we have to have the capability of countering the negative applications that our adversaries could undertake. It is a very significant policy challenge. I know that there's been some extraordinary work that perhaps our officials could share with you, perhaps even in a more secure setting, about some of the work that's already under way.
