All right, so Alison, today we have a topic that's really interesting to me, and that is the parallel development of AI ecosystems in the West and in China. So you think of how the two pursued divergent strategies with the Internet. It really is a separate Chinese internet. The question is whether that's going to happen with AI.

And the likelihood at this point is that there isn't, that there can exist multiple ecosystems and that companies can tap into them. This sounds very interesting. I know that you spent a great deal of time in China earlier in your career, but I imagined it's changed dramatically because of the advance in the internet and now AI. So what'd you learn?
