00:00Well, look, I'm worried about all that.

00:18I'm worried about election integrity, not just because of what Donald Trump's trying

00:24to do to, you know, find more representatives by doing these redistricting schemes.

00:34But I'm worried, you know, there's someone by the name of Gavin News that speaks fluent

00:42Spanish who has no wrinkles and is quite impressive, that's on my feet.

00:50Of course, he doesn't exist.

00:52He's an AI bot.

00:53Of me, you'd have a hell of a hard time knowing that, unless you took a second look.

01:01That's today.

01:03Imagine a few months.

01:06Imagine the ability to shapeshift perception in real time to weaponize that.

01:11So this is, yeah, I'm very concerned about those bills being thrown out and, you know,

01:16I'm mindful that we have to increase the number of tries, meaning let's get it right based

01:21on sort of a constitutional, not on sort of, based on constitutional concerns or constraints.

01:28And I'm deeply mindful of our relationship to that truth and trust as it relates to being

01:34a regulatory body in California.

01:38I, as it relates to litigation, that's a different process which we engage with our legal counsel.

01:46I'll have a chance to look.

01:48As you know, we've not only filed 37 new lawsuits against Trump administration just since January,

01:54so many of these cases that have been filed against us, every week we have a chance to review them.

02:02So I'd have to look at the specifics of the adjudication of that.

02:07How do you deal with this program?

02:14Well, it's hard to calculate right now.

02:16I mean, the MOU itself, it's not an immediate savings.

02:19It's the promise of promotion of different types of investments that don't necessarily have a huge cost driver.

02:26As it relates now to the Gen AI partnerships, it's not just about efficiency and savings.

02:33It's about doing things we couldn't do before.

02:35It's quite literally changing the paradigm of a work stream.

02:41It's about connecting dots that we didn't even know existed and could be connected.

02:48And that's what's so exciting about this.

02:50It's about real breakthrough.

02:52And that's why we started this breakthrough group as well.

02:57It's part and parcel of this larger innovation ecosystem that we're creating in partnership with the state.

03:03We've got some of the best and brightest minds from the Valley in the spirit not of DOGE, quite the contrary,

03:11but in the spirit of RIGO and what was done in the past under different administrations,

03:18particularly the work that Al Gore did, to work with our state workforce, engage them to find new work streams,

03:27new work styles, arrangements, to find not just efficiencies, but to break out the paradigm of expectations,

03:35to meet people where they are, give taxpayers more choice, more voice, not just find savings and efficiencies,

03:43but radically change the customer experience.

03:48What's that?

03:51Well, we've put out, as you know, and you've been kind enough to even join us in the Silicon Valley, Central Valley here.

03:58We've put out numerics in the past, multi-billion dollar slides we've shown you in terms of those savings.

04:03As it relates to the specific Gen AI contracts, too early to assess those, specific to those.

04:10But the broader re-invent government stuff, billions and billions of dollars in savings.

04:13Last question.

04:14Number of your disconnings.
