We spoke earlier about the AI office and I covered off governance in my discussions with IHREC. I want to talk more about the constitution of the AI office. We know it is difficult for the State to compete with salaries in the tech space. Is that an issue? Is there anything we can do to overcome that? Is there something the State should be considering, particularly at the moment with patterns of movement, even from places like the US where people genuinely are relocating due to the current Administration and some of its values? Are there things we can do to draw the talent we need to be the best AI office in Europe?
