I thank Dr. Padmanabhan for those observations. I was curious whether he had any particular example in mind when he put his piece together. We are going to have a session looking at other states and where this is used well. I am more interested in exploring whether there are opportunities for us to take information we already hold in different sections of the State and to use technology to better serve people, for example, through automatically flagging when people become entitled to something and pushing relevant applications to them. We will get onto that.

Another thought struck me when I was listening to the contributions of the three witnesses. I share their concern around LLMs. They have made the point very well that the information that comes from LLMs is only as good, strong and reliable as the sources it comes from. Are there discussions in any areas of academia with regard to developing discipline-specific or sector-specific LLMs that would rely on highly credible sources of information? Are there any discussions in academia around that at present?
