I have only one minute left. I asked previous witnesses what kept them awake at night in terms of how AI was developing. I suppose the more we get into this, what comes up - I am sure it comes up outside of these walls all the time - is the whole question of sovereignty. It was mentioned that it was not about the fact that Ireland did not have its own LLM like ChatGPT, but all of these companies are competing with one another and constantly developing and evolving. We want to integrate them into the State, but how does the State keep control of how these LLMs are developing while getting the benefit from innovation?
