So I was going to show you a video of this exact, it's not going to have the sound, but it's this server actually running a partner software.

They're called Gorilla.

And this box itself is from a company called IEI.

So IEI builds the box and builds the boards that have the Intel chips on one of the cards.

And then the Gorilla software is actually running 16 cameras worth of AI.

So 16 cameras are connecting into the box.

And where you see me demonstrating this on the table, it's this exact box here.

How do you think of the differences of the importance of brand across different sectors? You've talked about where your most visible sort of successes have been, but you've been involved in many, many industries.

You built the Gorilla technology, brand identity, for instance, in varying iterations over a long period.

How do you sort of think of those different opportunities? What you can do, for instance, in beverages is very different with a brand than what you can do with a technology services firm like Gorilla.

So how have you tended to with those different sort of constraints and opportunities.

An AI developer sick of expensive subscription fees for Adobe products, such as Photoshop, has taken matters into their own hands, creating free open source dupes of the apps using AI and reverse engineering.

Hope you really enjoyed that, and of course, you know, big thank you, uh, to everyone involved at, uh, Aerospace New Zealand for putting that together, uh, and the Christchurch NZ, uh, team for arranging this visit to, to Christchurch, uh, for me.

And of course, a big thank you to our incredible show partners, to PwC, SAP, Workday, 2degrees, Spark, Gorilla Technology, and One New Zealand.

And be sure to join us again to hear the second, uh, episode in this series where, uh, you know, we speak to more, uh, of those incredible people, uh, that were at the New Zealand Aerospace Summit.

The Greens want to pause hyperscale data centers, allow people to opt out of AI-assisted decision-making, and hold people accountable for decisions made using AI.

Gorilla Technology chief executive Paul Spain says burdening AI with too much regulation could be a mistake.

Because that will leave us behind the eight ball from a productivity perspective, and of course, New Zealand isn't particularly strong when it comes to productivity as it is.
