Engagement summary
We heard from B.C. businesses (both AI developers and potential adopters of AI solutions) to share their real-world experiences with AI. This engagement used the SenseMaker platform. SenseMaker is a research tool that gathers narratives and allows participants to self-interpret their experiences. We expect this will help the ministry understand patterns in AI adoption across different sectors. We hope to better understand your thoughts on what worked, what didn’t, and what could help.
