00:03 I'm Josh Leisk.
00:08 I'm founder and managing director at Newcastle AI.
00:11 So we focus on everything from AI strategy, implementation,
00:15 true to developing custom models.

00:22 I think that term is so broad.
00:24 And it means something different to everyone.
00:26 The definition that I do like to talk about,
00:28 and I do know something about, is the definition of AI,
00:32 which has very much changed in the last few years.
00:34 And my definition of AI is it's a suite of tools
00:38 that we can use to solve problems
00:40 that we previously couldn't do, which were not
00:42 feasible before AI came along.
00:44 Generative AI is something that everyone knows about now,
00:47 thanks to ChatGPT coming out at the end of last year.
00:50 And that's been really good for us
00:51 to have those conversations where people come in and talk
00:54 to us about, OK, how can we use ChatGPT in our business?
00:57 And then that's a really good starting point for us to say,
01:00 ChatGPT is a subset.
01:02 And generative AI is a subset of the tools
01:04 that we have available to work with you in your business
01:08 to solve your business problems.
01:10 Very much aware of, I guess, where Newcastle
01:13 is in our growth trajectory.
01:15 And tying our business to the name Newcastle
01:18 has meant I have a lot of confidence
01:19 in where we're going.
01:21 What I've seen is a lot of different disparate companies
01:23 and groups actually getting together and working together.
01:27 And we've got some very big multinationals here.
01:31 With their funding, with all the engineering talent
01:34 that we have in the area, I think
01:36 there's huge potential for us in the Hunter.
