Dr. Patricia Scanlon:

One is of the tasks is demystifying the position when it comes to literacy and education. It is so complex, but many of the conversations relating to it would have us think it is really simple. There is no nuance to it. It is exciting. People like a headline to grab something and say something very dramatic, whereas it is such a complex thing. We have never had a technology like this. We never had a technology that was so transformational. It will have an impact across all industries and society in general. We have never had a challenge as big as this in recent times. The education piece would foster better conversations at national level, in homes and, for politicians, on the doorsteps. The more we can educate the public, the more likely we are to have better conversations about this balancing act that is so difficult. For a small nation like ours, it is so important to get this right.
