I can advise the Member that the draft investment strategy extensively discusses the implications of the climate change legislation on big capital infrastructure, particularly, of course, in the public sector. That has been impacted on, objectively, by the A5 court case. That has been appealed. The interpretation of…

Deputy First Minister, if you were serious about delivering an investment strategy, would the answer not simply have been a date and a time for the delivery of that strategy for Northern Ireland? Seven months out from the end of the mandate, the reality is that you should be telling the truth. The answer is that there…

The Sinn Féin Infrastructure Minister has made it clear that there are number of projects, including the Enniskillen bypass, that are paused and postponed, waiting for the outcome of this case. Those are the real-life impacts of the climate change legislation interacting with plans on big infrastructure. To me, that…

Deputy First Minister, you referred to the Climate Change Act. A lot of Members are shouting about what needs to be done and what needs to be built, yet they support the Act. What needs to happen to reverse it and move forward to develop and build the roads and big infrastructure that those Members want built but will…

I thank Mark for submitting the question. You did not answer his question other than to confirm what I understood the reason for the delay to be. It is that the DUP is a party of climate-change deniers, and that is why you are blocking the investment strategy. Is that the case?

The Member will be aware that the Programme for Government sets out our desire for not just regional balance but regional prosperity.

I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. It is four years since the consultation on the investment strategy. In April of this year, the First Minister said that we were weeks away from its publication — from seeing the final version. As the Opposition, the SDLP, of course, supports the Executive's bid for a…

It is important that we do not prematurely fall into a position of opposition or of creating fears and apprehensions about something. That is why we have set up the process. At this stage, there is not extensive use of AI across the public sector. Inevitably, however, as AI develops, it will be used in all sectors,…

Deputy First Minister, how many people in TEO are working on AI, policy and strategy, in total? Concerns have been raised. There are growing concerns about the dangers that AI could pose and calls for an AI kill switch that could basically stop it in an emergency situation. Has that been discussed by the Executive or…

I thank the Member for his question. I am always happy to answer questions. If we do not have the answers to those questions, we should not be in these roles, so I am, of course, always happy to come along.

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 the Member is likely aware, there have been developments in the European Union and, of course, in the UK in relation to AI. There have been reports, including one published by the UK Government over the summer around AI's impact on the creative industries. This document does something slightly different. It is not…

Deputy First Minister, you will be aware that, through the wonders of the protocol, there are two different versions of how AI is being interpreted in EU regulations and United Kingdom regulations.

It is incredibly important that there is discussion. A huge amount of the understanding of and apprehension about AI is fuelled by what people see.

The deputy First Minister will know that I am delighted that the AI strategy has been published. I have tabled many questions about it.

I thank the Member.

There are a lot of concerns about the future of AI and how it will be brought in and used. The Member is right that human oversight is critical.
