Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to ask a series of questions on AI and AI adoption in Canada. This has been a fairly significant issue in Hamilton over the past week, where we've seen a fairly significant protest against AI, with people saying that they don't want any AI, no matter what. They're mostly basing those perceptions on predictive AI, large language models, chatbots, image generators and those kinds of things. I totally understand what their hesitations, anxieties and fears are regarding AI.
I want to give you an opportunity to talk about how, in science, research, innovation and business, Canadian organizations and researchers are already using AI. How can we leverage that to really build up Canada's economy for the future?
