Yeah.

I think that does get down to to what I said, what we've built out so far, thinking about that and embedding that in the principles to make it clear that these sorts of activities where they're possible and and in the right format.
1:42:36
Can go a long way to engendering trust that residents have with city agencies using AI.
1:42:43
Like you said, it is it isn't going to be one size fits all because it has to be dynamically responsive to the individual technology, what is being used for whether or not it can even provide that sort of, like, individual level notification.

So it's gonna be a complicated picture, but our our goal with the principles is to make sure that agencies are understanding the value of transparency and over time to help them come up with ways of doing that that are responsive to both the the demand and the need, as well as the structural limitations that they may have.
