Is AI actually saving time?
We want to understand the full workflow, including the time spent checking, correcting and refining AI output before it can be used.
The Northern Ireland AI Survey 2026 is asking how AI is actually working inside local businesses once checking, corrections and day-to-day rules are counted. Galvia Digital, with support from Belfast Chamber, is asking organisations across Northern Ireland to share what is working, what is not, and what support would help.
Led by Galvia Digital with support from Belfast Chamber.
The survey focuses on the realities behind everyday AI use: the time involved, the rules around it and what organisations need next.
We want to understand the full workflow, including the time spent checking, correcting and refining AI output before it can be used.
The survey explores how AI is being used in practice and how that compares with policies, guidance and expectations inside organisations.
Whether you use AI regularly, tried it and stopped, or have not found a reason to start, your experience helps identify where support is needed.
The questionnaire is intended for owners, managers or colleagues who have an overview of how their organisation works. No technical expertise is required.
The survey is open to organisations operating in Northern Ireland, including sole traders and businesses of all sizes. It is designed for owners, managers or colleagues with an overview of their organisation. AI users, non-users and organisations that tried AI and stopped are all welcome.
Allow around 10–12 minutes, although some routes are shorter. The survey closes on Friday 13 November 2026.
Findings will be reported in aggregate without naming individual organisations.
Respondents can sign up within the questionnaire to receive a copy of the findings when the report is published.
AI users, non-users and organisations that tried AI and stopped are all useful to this research. There is no additional sign-up before the questionnaire.
