I thank Dr. McQuillan for his fair and robust critique. In Britain, there is a major pushback against AI, particularly with the deferring of critical thinking and people's functioning through cognitive expressions or that people cannot hold their focus for 30 seconds, which is having a devastating effect on young people. What is Dr. McQuillan's opinion on that? Does he think we should have far more regulation or robust legislation apart from regulation?
