Is that the world that you play in? And where does AI...
8:48
Yeah, very much so.
8:49
It's as the owners of the creative gen AI tools across the bank.
8:53
So that's, as you say, things like Adobe Firefly, but various image and video and audio generation tools.
9:01
I mean, we're challenged by the governance piece to go back to your book, right? As a global bank operating in 60 markets, 90,000 people, we have to have a really stringent AI governance layer.
9:11
And we have that and we built that over the last five years.
9:14
But It's how do you turn that from being a hindrance or a blockage into being an enabler? A lot of the use cases that we deploy in the more creative field are very low risk in terms of they use very little data of the banks.

And how do you see AI as a productivity accelerator and a coworker versus the point at the top of the conversation about the headlines around replacing human workers?
13:34
Did you fly those?
13:35
Yep.
13:37
Um, yeah, that was, uh, you know, they were quite interesting airplanes.
13:42
Uh, the only interesting thing I think was on, must have been Christmas.
13:49
I, I could look at my logbook.
13:51
It sh- it must have been Christmas, um, '50, the end of '52.
13:57
Um, we were in the bar with the sergeants for the sergeants' mess do at Christmas, and Max Hope came in and, uh, said, "I want a pilot." And he, I always say he asked me the square root of two or some obscure thing, and decided that I hadn't been drinking.
