The state of the AI Economy
Every week, we share the latest updates on the State of the AI Economy based on our proprietary research.
We analyzed the types of claims corporates make about AI in earnings calls. Around a third are directly attributing financial impact to their implementation of AI. And these are not one-offs – companies that mention AI make an average of 6.8 separate claims, and they put numbers on 5.1 of them.
See our State of the AI Economy 2026 report for more.
