Mr. Ryan Meade:

Talking about our responsibilities, as I said earlier, this all starts with our AI principles which we have set out since 2018. Operationalising those involves a whole system of internal processes, including our responsibility and safety council which will ultimately adjudicate on a number of these tricky areas where risks are identified.

That is an internal process but, importantly, we also think about transparency. That is why we periodically report on the AI principles so that will very concretely show what positions we have taken against those principles and whether to pursue a particular technology or product.

On Deputy Bruton's point about education, I am not an expert in this area but we broadly see that generative AI itself will probably have a role in the classroom going forward. At the moment, there has been some discussion as to whether it will enable cheating as against the current model of producing answers to questions, and so on. I expect that will evolve over time with students using the technology creatively in class but educators will have to figure out what that looks like to ensure that there is fairness and continuity in assessment, and so on.

More broadly, the technology will mean that some of those fundamental skills which we hope to teach our young people will definitely still apply, particularly critical thinking and to be able to evaluate information, to understand where it is coming from, and so on.

It is also about creativity in innovation because we see that generative AI can be a tool to assist creativity and if we get to a good outcome in this area, one will see students using generative AI to spark creativity which will lead to innovation.
