00:00I think the first thing is it's really important we don't pull behind, absolutely, so we need

00:09to make sure we're keeping up with the nations around us and that we are leveraging this

00:15new technology as well as being aware of positives and any potential issues that we should watch

00:24out for.

00:25One would hope as we go through this journey we will find our own niche, we will find our

00:30USP to differentiate ourselves from everybody else and that's where hopefully we'll see

00:35a new service, a new part of the economy spring up.

00:39And it's really important the pace of change right now that we work with organisations

00:44around the world that are up with that pace so we can learn from them and we can make

00:49sure that we're in step with them, or not, as we decide.

00:56Well, I mean, from my perspective, it's massively exciting because all of a sudden I've got

01:02access to be able to do things that might have taken months or years in the past to

01:07accelerate and do things much more quickly now, as well as things that literally I wouldn't

01:12have been able to do just a couple of years ago.

01:16If I'm looking to grow as a business, this is the tool that I'll be looking at to help

01:20me on that journey, to knock down barriers, create opportunity, incentivise my staff

01:25to stretch themselves and move into new areas, and ultimately make more money as a business.

01:30Absolutely.

01:31Yeah, I could echo the same, I mean, time and effort has collapsed over the last two

01:34years specifically.

01:35Obviously, AI has been around since the 50s, the concept is not new, but the collapse over

01:41the last two years of what's possible means that businesses can re-evaluate what they

01:45thought was possible five years ago and now say, actually, we may be able to do this now.

01:49And that's really important.

01:54So I think really the focus of the Roadshow is just to let people know what we're doing,

01:59really break it down for them into the sort of why we're doing it, what's going to happen,

02:03what they can expect and how they can get involved.

02:06That's essentially it.

02:08Yeah, I echo the same.

02:10With a trusted environment that you can have this conversation with government and local

02:15businesses.

02:20Yeah, I mean, Digital Island Management's primary focus is to partner with industry

02:25and not to do everything ourselves.

02:27And this is such a huge change for the island.

02:30It has to be a partnership.

02:32As an island, we all need to go on this journey together.

02:35Now, everyone will have a different focus, but we have a real opportunity to move forward.

02:39And if we move forward together and learn from each other, that's really where we're

02:43going to get success.

02:44This isn't something that we as a government need to try to control.

02:48We just need to try to be the catalyst and to create that right environment for people

02:52to adopt it.

02:53Where do you go today to learn about AI?

02:56Where?

02:57On the internet.

02:58Okay, but where do you go to meet people, real humans, and have that conversation?

03:02And that's what we're looking to encourage, is encouraging businesses to get together

03:06and have that conversation, activate, activate partners, activate the businesses, activate

03:11citizens.

03:12So it's where do you go?
