My first question is on AI companionship. We said we would try and use the tools as part of this committee. I am actively trying to use ChatGPT nearly as a companion in this crazy lifestyle we lead in Leinster House, so fitting in exercise and leading my diet to trying to be healthy. What I am noticing, when I am trying to be critical with it, is it is so positive. It tells me I am doing a great job, even if maybe I am not. What do the witnesses think will be effects? Will AI companionship replace or distort our human relationships? I think there are positive elements, but what are Dr. Scanlon's thoughts on that?
