When you use a single figure, please cite the original source too; every figure on the site links to it.

TODO for Robb: set the permanent site address (howweuseai.org is registered; the current host is temporary) and replace [page address].

Citing the data

TODO for Robb: choose a license for the data files we compile, and say here whether reuse needs credit.

The AI at Work Benchmark

Measure how your people actually use AI

Score your organization's practices, measure your people with an anonymous pulse, and see both against the published evidence.

Employee pulse

Fifteen questions on how you use AI, three about your role. Your answers are added to your organization's totals and never shown on their own. About six minutes, anonymous.

Coming soon

Organization survey

For the person who leads AI adoption: profile, practices and open questions. Your staff answer the pulse under the same code, and your report shows both.
