We are new in the game, so you ask me about AI in fact to be honest with you I don't know anything. So I depend on all the rest of people to educate me. My name [music] is Peter Lim. I'm the CEO of Sam. Sam manufactures for [music] the aerospace industry as well as the semicon industry. We make parts for the engine [music] itself, the engine mouse, the engine casings. And the thought of having AI comes in very handy because [music] they can help us recognize the parts that are defective or the parts that need our attentions. I wanted to get into machine [music] learning modeling but no one can help us. I was interested with the AI AP graduates because they have personally gone through projects [music] that are practical to the industry.
They have shown their enthusiasm and because of the exposure [music] they are able to help us to look at AI with a very different perspective. So for those companies who are like us who are behind the AI [music] game, I encourage you take that step, take on some of the AI AP graduates.
