The UK’s AI adoption has doubled in the past year, with 73% of workplaces now using AI, but the adoption curve is uneven, with only 15% of users, dubbed ‘AI Trailblazers’, seeing significant benefits like promotions and pay rises.

The good news is that anyone can become a Trailblazer, regardless of technical knowledge, and addressing the disparities in AI adoption can unlock nationwide economic growth.
