It’s certainly a bold idea, but what is the big thinking behind it — and what could it do for Channel Islands?

Ahead of the two presentations, Simon De La Rue was joined by Guernsey-based actuary Martyn Dorey, one of the co-founders of the ‘Connect 3 Million’ project, JT chair Meriel Lenfestey and Jersey business expert Kevin Keen to discuss its potential.

On the first-ever Business Brief podcast, magazine editor Amanda Eulenkamp is joined by Digital Jersey CEO Tony Moretta and Guernsey-based VC Marc Cohen to discuss artificial intelligence and the Channel Islands; what we mean when we talk about AI in 2024, what impact it could — and will — have here, and what local leaders should be thinking about as this technological revolution takes shape.

You can read much more on AI — and how local business is approaching it — in the March issue of Business Brief, available now in print and online.
