State of AI in New Zealand 2026

How are New Zealand businesses actually using AI — and what’s holding them back? Sovata is running the State of AI in New Zealand survey to find out. It takes about five minutes, answers are anonymous unless you choose otherwise, and everyone who takes part gets the full report before public release.

Five minutes. Anonymous. You see the results first.

  • Five minutes, anonymous by default — runs on our own site, not a third-party form tool
  • See how your organisation compares with your sector
  • Get the full report before it’s released publicly
  • We only ever contact you about our services if you explicitly invite it

Why we’re running this: New Zealand decision-makers currently rely on overseas statistics to understand AI adoption at home. This annual survey builds the missing local picture — how NZ organisations actually use AI, what they trust it with, and what’s holding them back — and the full results are published openly for anyone to cite.
