I thank the witnesses for being here at our inaugural session. This is very much going to be an ongoing conversation that we will have with many experts like the witnesses before us. I thank Dr. Seoighe for the very detailed and informative presentation. I am still very much learning about this area, as a lot of us are. It is evolving at a rapid pace.
I have a number of questions. Could we drill down a little bit more into the risks? Dr. Seoighe mentioned the AI safety report he contributed to. Could he identify the key risks we should be on top of, as public representatives? Which ones would he select for us to focus on? That is a broad question.
