    "content": "AI is likely to lead to job losses yet we are a country that needs to employ a majority of its people. However, it is also possible that AI will create employment in new areas. As we adopt and advance this technology, we should look at how to align it with productivity in our productive sectors so that we are creating more jobs. We should wean off difficult and risky tasks and those that require heavy machinery. We may assign tasks that require intensive scrutiny to human beings. Public awareness is also very important. Awareness levels are high in our country. Unfortunately, much of the information circulating is neither credible nor verifiable. How can we use AI to ensure that we develop sufficient understanding to our people on how to cross- check information they are given? We need to foster transparency and the responsible use of AI. It is possible for us to do that through an elaborate policy framework, which is why I believe this Motion has come at the right time. We must distinguish the sectors that can embrace AI. We must also identify functions within those sectors that can embrace AI, and to what extent. We need a mechanism to measure and establish the level of AI usage that we are talking about. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is the issue of ethical standards and the ethics of transmitted information. That also needs to be focused on and can only be achieved through a policy guideline. With those few remarks, I wish to support this Motion. Thank you, very much."
