Gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Okay. Thank you very much. That kind of follows on very nicely to my last question as well, just to drill down a little bit more. Are you content, then, with the degree of emphasis that the refreshed manufacturing action plan places on automation and…

Thank you, Chair. I'm just going to ask a couple of questions around automation and artificial intelligence. So, to start with, could you just give us your views on how advances in automation and artificial intelligence are currently affecting the…

Gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Yes, and that just moves on to my final question, which comes back to the refreshed automation and AI plan from the Welsh Government. They have said: 'Manufacturing has transformed throughout previous industrial revolutions, with factory environments a…

Thank you very much. I need to declare that I'm a member of Unite Wales. So, to start, I'm going to be asking questions about automation and artificial intelligence. As I raised with our economy Minister in the previous session, there has been a flurry of…

Thank you, Minister. Thank you, Chair.
8 Mehefin 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1 – Gweinidog yr Economi
Absolutely. And my final question on this, then, is: do you think there's any chance that the UK Government might be open to looking at this through a social partnership framework, as we have now in Wales? Is there any way that you might be able to discuss…

Gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1 – Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you. It's also been reported that Britain is already playing catch-up when it comes to AI. After Brexit, UK Government has been locked out of key forums such as the tech and trade council, for example. There is now a grand plan, like an AI summit, which…

Gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1 – Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you very much, Chair. So, my section is on key activity. I think that some of the key activity is—there has definitely been a flurry of interest in this over the last, I suppose, couple of weeks, really—around artificial intelligence. The phrase 'fourth…

Cyllid datblygu rhanbarthol wedi’r UE: Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you. That brings me to my next question. As you said, unfortunately this is where we are. So, what next? Because I would say that—. I wouldn't want to say it's a level of panic, but hearing from universities and from others who are receiving funds for…

Cyllid datblygu rhanbarthol wedi’r UE: Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you, Chair. Thank you all for being here this morning. I’m going to ask some questions about research and innovation. We’ve already heard about the UK Government ignoring the preferred formula to take into account local deprivation levels, and, as you…

Thank you very much. And then my follow-up question is about 5.43 in the evaluation—this is about the advocacy and the centrality of the advocacy requirements under the Act. I know that there was an awful lot of campaigning that went into making sure that it…

Gwerthuso Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014: Panel 2
Is there anything that you think needs to be done, then? I know you've said that maybe the Act itself is fine and we don't need to change that, but do you think, then, with the guidance, there needs to—? Do you think we need to call out a bit this phrasing…
