Public opinion on AI to guide telecom innovations

Manx Telecom has launched a survey to understand how AI is perceived by individuals and businesses on the Isle of Man. The firm aims to gather insights into AI usage, preparedness, and challenges in both personal and professional contexts.

Kate Hegarty, head of marketing at Manx Telecom, highlighted that feedback from the community would guide the development of new telecom services tailored to meet the island’s evolving needs. The survey also explores potential opportunities AI presents for local industries.

The Isle of Man government recently launched a programme to boost digital skills as part of a wider initiative to grow the island’s GDP by 10% by 2030. Manx Telecom plans to use the results of the survey to collaborate with partners and enhance the technology offerings on the island.

Conducted by Island Global Research, the survey remains open to the public until 9 October. Responses will influence Manx Telecom’s future product development and the services it offers.
