Use of AI Is Up Since December

But growth varies by firm size and sector, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Business Trends and Outlook Survey. Overall AI usage was between 17% and 20%, and 20% to 23% businesses expect to use it in the next 6 months. In the past 6 months, 32% of firms with 100 to 249 employees said they used AI. But less than 20% of firms with four or fewer employees reported using AI. The next survey will measure AI usage across 15 different business functions, including finance, human resources, customer service, marketing, information technology and research and development. #IdeaoftheDay
