But for those areas that are not shall I use the word?
0:51:18
They're slightly more mature as far as age goes.
0:51:22
AI is not something that rolls off anybody's tongue and they're a little bit afraid of.
0:51:26
I'm talking about the older Mhmm.
0:51:28
Young people.
0:51:29
And everybody's really concerned about because they am it is a little age appropriate that we don't fully get it.
0:51:37
And when you come and you speak, you have to speak to us in a different sort of way to make it it's like is speaking to another age group.
0:51:46
So we my biggest concern is when my constituents ask, are they here about AI?
0:51:53
AI to them is scary.
0:51:55
It's artificial.
0:51:56
It's not real.
0:51:59
So the next time you do a hearing, I'd like to know about
Theo Chino
0:52:02
it Sure.
Vickie Paladino
0:52:03
So that I could get some people on board and put it forward because everybody's really very concerned.
0:52:11
Like you said, risk risk assessment, and that word moderating, monitoring.
0:52:17
That's like Big Brother watching you.
0:52:20
Mhmm.
0:52:20
We have a real problem, my generation, with Big Brother watching us all the time.
0:52:25
We don't like it.
0:52:27
So you could take it from there.
Alex Foard
0:52:29
Sure.
0:52:29
No.
0:52:29
Thank you for for sort of highlighting what we think is a really important issue, which is that we can't speak in one voice all the time.
0:52:37
We have to be adaptive to different groups.
0:52:40
Our first listening sessions were a way to get started, right, to say, let's let's get out there and let's sort of see what we can find.
0:52:47
Again, we were really happy with the way that they went.
0:52:49
We were able to get, you know, people who who cared about the topic but we'd be more than happy to continue targeting specific audiences, you know, making sure that we're speaking to constituents in groups who matter, you know, for your perspective or others.
0:53:01
So we'd be happy to.
