Summary
Recent survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that business adoption of artificial intelligence has actually declined, with the employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work falling by a percentage point to 11%. The drop is particularly sharp at large businesses with over 250 employees, indicating that despite investor expectations and the three-year generative AI wave, actual workplace AI implementation is not accelerating as anticipated.
