Manatū Taonga Releases Draft Report On Culture In A Digital Age
A Long-term Insights Briefing (LTIB) provides analysis and information about medium and long-term trends, risks, and opportunities that may affect New Zealand.
The topic for this LTIB is: Culture in the Digital Age: How will technology change the way New Zealanders create, share and protect their stories in 2040 and beyond?
"Our draft LTIB looks into how AI and other digital technologies will reshape creative expression, content distribution and cultural preservation," says Secretary for Culture and Heritage Leauanae Laulu Mac Leauanae.
"By 2040, our cultural sectors will be deeply intertwined with artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies. These advancements offer unprecedented opportunities for new and exciting ways of creating, sharing, and protecting our stories. On the other hand, they can also introduce significant ethical, legal, cultural and governance challenges that we should address thoughtfully and collaboratively.
"We want to open up the discussion and invite the public to give us their thoughts on what this digital future will look like for Aotearoa, and what we need to think about now," says Leauanae.
The public can also enter an art competition to design the cover of the final report.

Survey Highlights Resident Approval Of NPDC Services
Steady as she goes is the key takeaway from NPDC's annual Customer Satisfaction Survey, which shows improved or maintained satisfaction levels across the majority of its services. The 2025 survey shows that of the thirty-five council services and perceptions measured, twenty have maintained their satisfaction levels, and eight have registered increased satisfaction by between four and eight per cent. However, the Council's reputation among residents has dropped in the last year, as has the perceived quality of life in the district. 'This survey is really useful for highlighting the areas where we need to do better for our community, as well as the areas where we're improving,' says NPDC Chief Executive Gareth Green. 'I'm pleased to see that our core three waters services are rated so highly, especially in comparison with our peer councils, given that we've been investing in sorting out the district's plumbing for the last few years. 'However, the community thinks we need to do better in some areas and we need to take that on board and look at how we can improve.' Among the highlights of the survey are that nine services gained 85 per cent or higher support. Both Puke Ariki Library and the quality of our parks and reserves stayed the same at 95 and 93 per cent respectively, while our water and kerbside bin service both rose in satisfaction. Among the satisfaction ratings in the 2025 survey versus 2024: Water supply – 85 per cent (2025) v 81 per cent. Stormwater – 73 per cent v 67 per cent. Sewerage – 83 per cent v 76 per cent. Kerbside rubbish and recycling collection – 88 per cent v 85 per cent. Ability to drive around the network safely – 71 per cent v 76 per cent. Quality and safety of the cycle network – 56 per cent v 61 per cent. Quality of playgrounds – 78 per cent v 73 per cent. Council has a good reputation – 51 per cent 55 per cent. Council did what it said it would – 61 per cent v 66 per cent. Quality of life is good in the district – 75 per cent v 80 per cent. The survey also looked at how we compare with similar sized councils*. Water supply – 85 per cent (NPDC) v 54% (benchmark). Stormwater – 73 per cent v 50 per cent. Sewerage – 83 per cent v 69 per cent. Overall quality of the roads – 59 per cent v 35 per cent. Quality and safety of footpaths – 76 per cent v 53 per cent. Availability of car parking – 59 per cent v 47 per cent. Museum at Puke Ariki – 92 per cent v 76 per cent. Quality of sports parks – 73 per cent v 76 per cent. Quality of public toilets – 69 per cent v 72 per cent. The NPDC Community Survey is available on our website. Notes: This is an annual survey and in 2025 a demographically representative sample of 395 respondents conducted 14th Apr - 12th May. The survey is also used to see how the organisation is tracking against non-financial measures/targets set out in the Long-Term Plan and reported on in the Annual Report. This survey is conducted by independent research company The Curiosity Company. * Benchmarked averages against councils in Napier, Palmerston North and Nelson where two or more had questions asked about the same services.

New Zealand consumers show rising interest in agentic AI tools
New research from Adobe has indicated a shift in attitudes towards artificial intelligence among New Zealand consumers, with a significant majority expressing interest in more advanced forms of AI that can act autonomously. The survey, which involved 1,001 New Zealanders and was conducted as part of a wider global study, found that over half of respondents (61%) are either already utilising or are interested in using AI technologies in their everyday lives. AI assistants - software capable of answering questions and performing tasks - have already seen considerable uptake. According to the findings, 62% of New Zealand consumers have used these assistants more than once. The most common uses cited include researching or summarising information (53%), carrying out web searches (33%), offering ideas or recommendations (28%), and learning new skills (26%). Adoption appears to be particularly strong among younger demographics, with Generation Z and Millennial respondents at the forefront. The data shows that between 16% and 21% of people in these groups use AI assistants to interact with brands in retail, travel, and financial services. This cohort is shifting shopping habits, notably during the discovery phase - 53% of these users research brands and products with AI assistants, while a third have begun replacing traditional search engines with AI-driven methods. Agentic AI interest The research highlights growing consumer curiosity about agentic AI - systems capable of understanding intent, making decisions, and taking action autonomously. While only 25% of New Zealand consumers were initially familiar with the term, 75% expressed excitement about the potential of agentic AI once its abilities were described. Nearly a third (28%) expect to begin using such systems within the next year. A majority believe agentic AI could make their lives easier (69%) and help them accomplish more (65%). Katrina Troughton, Vice President and Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand, Adobe, commented on the evolving landscape: "AI is already shifting the dynamics of customer journeys, and brands can meet this growing demand with AI-assisted experiences that offer convenience, utility and value. There's a clear appetite for digital assistants that can seamlessly integrate into our daily lives and take action on our behalf." The study found that although only a minority were familiar with agentic AI by name, a substantial portion anticipate these tools will play an important role in personalising their digital experiences, building upon current efforts by brands to tailor services to individual needs. Satisfaction with current personalisation efforts was rated as "good" or "excellent" by about half of respondents. Troughton added, "The research shows that AI-powered support and personalisation are increasingly influencing purchasing decisions, so businesses must evolve their digital services in response. Leading brands that have used chat interfaces are moving towards richer, brand-centred agents – deeply integrated with customer data – that deliver smarter, more personalised experiences." According to Adobe, future applications such as its Brand Concierge will aim to provide businesses with the capacity to create AI agents that support consumers from the exploration stage through to purchase, utilising interfaces attuned to user context and preferences. Sector-specific experiences Within the retail sector, the survey found AI assistants are being used for product research, recommendations, and sourcing gift ideas. An increasing number of consumers plan to use AI for online shopping, especially in entertainment (36%), clothing (34%), and health and beauty (32%). Travel is another area where AI is impacting user experiences. The majority of travel-focused AI users turn to these tools for trip planning and inspiration, with 80% reporting improved experiences compared to traditional research methods. Even among those yet to adopt AI, there is strong interest in using it for applications like price comparison (89%) and receiving personalised recommendations (87%). Financial services is another sector where adoption is evident. Here, AI tools are primarily used for budgeting, understanding financial products, and providing investment advice. Of those using such features, 82% reported trust in AI-driven financial recommendations, even in the absence of human input. The Adobe research suggests that while there is still an education gap around agentic AI, New Zealand consumers are increasingly open to adopting these technologies, particularly where they see potential for greater convenience and more meaningful personalisation.

Strengthening Fire Safety In Buildings
Minister for Building and Construction The Government will amend the Building Code to better protect New Zealanders, following strong calls for change as part of a nationwide fire safety review, Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk has confirmed. "The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has today released the summary of submissions from last year's consultation on fire safety regulations in the Building Code. 'The review was launched following the devastating fire at Loafers Lodge in Wellington, which sadly claimed the lives of five people in May 2023. 'The recent tragedy here and similar incidents overseas have made it clear we need to look closely at how safe our buildings are, especially larger residential accommodation. 'More than 100 organisations, businesses, and individuals across New Zealand shared their insights during the consultation. I want to thank everyone who took the time to make a submission. 'Since the last update of the Building Code fire safety regulations in 2012, building uses, technology, materials and construction methods have evolved rapidly – adding new complexities to fire safety in our buildings and to firefighting. 'Many submitters agreed that the current framework is overly complex, with confusing building classifications and unclear language. 'These issues are causing inconsistent compliance decisions, consenting delays and challenges for owners trying to maintain buildings. 'Respondents agreed that it is essential for all building occupants to be able to evacuate safely, including people with disabilities and those in accommodation like hotels, motels and boarding houses. 'Others agreed the rules should target specific fire hazards to ensure requirements are fit-for-purpose and cost-effective. 'There was also support for ensuring fire safety provisions in the Building Code align with the realities of modern-day firefighting to protect firefighters while doing their jobs. Submitters agreed that New Zealand's rules need to keep pace with new technologies and construction methods. 'We have a clear mandate to strengthen protections for New Zealanders by updating our fire safety requirements for buildings. 'I have instructed the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to incorporate this feedback into proposed Building Code changes for Cabinet to consider early next year.' Notes:
