Part of the AI Sprint: six weeks of events across Guernsey, 1 October to 12 November 2026.
What this session is
Join an honest breakfast panel assessing where Guernsey really stands in the global AI race. Facilitated by Daniele Harford-Fox (Principal, The Ladies' College), the panel brings together Deputy Lindsay de Sausmarez, Glen Tonks, Brooke Kenyon and a senior representative from C5 Alliance to confront the real risks and opportunities AI presents — and what happens if other jurisdictions move faster than Guernsey does.
The panel also looks at two of the island's toughest structural challenges through an AI lens: roughly 2,500 open vacancies at any time, a housing shortfall constraining workforce growth, and what both mean for how the island trains its workforce today and tomorrow.
Who it is for
Business leaders and decision-makers, especially those grappling with recruitment, workforce planning or housing pressures.
What you will leave with
- Hear how Guernsey's most influential leaders are actually approaching AI right now
- Explore whether AI can ease the island's workforce and housing pressures
- Understand what leadership means in an economy being reshaped by AI
