Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here with us.
Dr. Kristal, I'm very glad to know that you are also a civil engineer. My question is for you.
You are one of the founding program directors of both the master of business analytics and the master of management in artificial intelligence programs at the Schulich School of Business. I was hoping you could speak to how Canadian academics are responding to the recent surge in AI and whether they are facing barriers to conducting research and ultimately commercializing their research.
What would help break down these barriers?
