Published: January 19, 2026 at 4:33 pm

The Isle of Man Government has launched a new National AI Office (NAIO) to help coordinate how the Island adopts AI in a practical and responsible way.

Backed by £1 million of funding, it will build on the Activate AI programme, which the government says delivered around £2m in productivity savings in 2025.

Led by Digital Isle of Man, the office will focus on creating a national AI strategy, improving AI skills and literacy, helping businesses use AI, setting clear safety guidance and using AI to make public services more efficient.
