It is an AI safety report. There is an onus on the committee to inform people and ask the questions. There are issues around safety but, as Dr. Seoighe highlighted, there are massive benefits to this too.

Black box decision-making was mentioned, and where the decisions come from. Hallucinations and the misinformation coming out of all of this have been mentioned. The technology is moving at speed. It is like anything in that it is only as good as the information it has to base its decision on. The data points are multiplying. Will the less looking around it is doing for the answers and the less energy it is wasting on the hallucinations make the system more efficient?
