The Isle of Man Government has launched the National AI Office, backed by £1 million in public funding, to coordinate how artificial intelligence is developed and used across the Island.

The office is intended to act as a central point for AI policy, advice and practical support.

The government says it will focus on boosting economic competitiveness, improving public service efficiency and raising AI literacy, without expanding the civil service.

Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston and Digital Isle of Man Chief Executive Lyle Wraxall sat down with Manx Radio's Christian Jones.
