Minister, do you agree that the question is not about what AI can do but about what it cannot do, given the fast pace of its evolution? As part of your deliberations and cross-departmental deliberations, will an employment risk audit be done? Inevitably, that is the major issue. We see what has happened in places such as Amazon at a very fast pace. We want to establish that job security for many, including those in the public sector, will not be jeopardised by the introduction in places of AI.
