Harm to children poses the greatest risk online, a survey by Guernsey’s data protection commissioner has suggested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Of those surveyed, 73% of people highlighted concerns about online harm to children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Office of the Data Protection Authority survey also suggested “the adoption, potential and risks of artificial intelligence is at the forefront of people’s minds”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Commissioner Brent Homan said the results highlighted gaps in people’s understanding about their rights and his office planned to launch more support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The commissioner said he was not surprised by the results on the protection of children and his office had an education programme to promote and protect children’s rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Homan said it was also “clear that people care about information and the protection of information”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The survey suggested 73% of respondents had used it for personal work but 60% of businesses said they were not using it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“There is a demand and desire to do it right,” said Homan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The survey suggested “very few” people were confident they could recognise when AI was used and “a clear majority” were concerned about how it was used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
