I thank the Minister of State. Very often a whole swathe of concerns is expressed by people in the context of the debate around AI. These include from an ethical point of view, climate change concerns and a whole broad range. Equally, though, there is excitement regarding the opportunities existing here. One area I would like to focus on is ensuring another generation is empowered and in a position to know how to use artificial intelligence and make the best use of it. What level of engagement is there with the education system to empower people regarding the use of AI? Similarly, regarding businesses, very often there were previously trading online vouchers to encourage them to have an online presence. Will there be a similar situation to aid businesses to educate, train and empower their employees in the use of AI?
