I would like to learn a little bit more about the annual polling that was referenced. In the submission Mr. Herrick talked about the 73% of people who are concerned about the societal impacts of AI, and the mere 22% who believe that we are regulating technology companies effectively right now. Another result highlighted was the 68% who expressed concern about the use of AI by the Government in public services. Will the witnesses talk to me a little bit more about the questions in the poll and what the commission was hearing.
