The deputy First Minister will know that I am delighted that the AI strategy has been published. I have tabled many questions about it. From my engagement as chair of the all-party group on artificial intelligence, I know that there are different views on AI depending on the sector. The tech sector is excited about the opportunities — there are many — while those in the creative sector may be worried, and there are environmental concerns. So much of the conversation is based on outdated information. What will the Executive Office do, beyond an online consultation, to facilitate a wider public conversation about what AI is and its opportunities and risks? Will there be a wider public conversation about it?
