Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey. Your input is valuable in understanding the adoption, challenges, and future needs of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within businesses in the agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality industries across the Eastern Shore. This survey is part of a research initiative conducted by the Business, Economic, and Community Outreach Network (BEACON) at Salisbury University, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Small Business Administration (SBA).

The goal of this survey is to assess the current state of AI awareness and usage, identify potential roadblocks to adoption, and explore opportunities for collaboration between businesses and Salisbury University. Your responses will help shape future initiatives to support AI integration and workforce development in the region.

Your participation is completely voluntary, and your responses will be kept confidential. If you do not feel comfortable answering a question, select “N/A” or skip the question. If you’re completing this survey, you should be the direct point of contact for your organization.
