An MHK's to quiz the government on the future of its AI strategy in a series of questions for written answer.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper has tabled a total of four questions for Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston and Chief Minister Alf Cannan.

He wants more details on the recently-announced National Office for AI Development and Regulation, how much it'll cost and how it fits in with the Digital Isle of Man agency.

During this year's government conference, Mr Cannan announced the office would be set up this year to oversee AI on the Island.
