The difficulty is that in other jurisdictions, such as the Netherlands, for example, there is a register. We do not have that here. This might be a topic I come back to other witnesses with, particularly around social work. Without that register it is kind of up to us, as citizens, to identify the use of AI.

Moving on to the two youth advisory panel representatives, I thank them so much for being here today. I want to build on Deputy Geoghegan's line of questioning around attitudes towards AI technology more broadly. I want to give Ms French time to expand on what she had started to say on how young people feel about AI. I am particularly interested in how the witnesses think attitudes towards privacy differ between their generation and older generations. I ask Ms French or Mr. McWeeney to elaborate on that.
