I am sorry I missed the opening statement. I have read it. I had to do something else.

To start with a kind of technical question, it seems that some of the discussion in this area is a little confused by the incentive that corporations have to put the term "AI" on everything. It is a bit like blockchain. For a while, everything was blockchain, dotcom or whatever. There is kind of a bubble whereby computers doing anything is called AI. It is sort of true, but it is not really the sense in which we mean it. Could Professor Smeaton separate out new generations of AI and generative AI versus regular computing, which can be described as AI in a sense?
