What the Numbers Suggest
Adoption continues to climb, but growth is uneven across sectors. Larger firms report clearer ROI from automation and analytics, while SMEs face skills and infrastructure hurdles. Recruitment signals (job postings) point to sustained demand for practical AI roles over pure research positions.
