AI Adoption At Work 2026 gives people something they’ve never had:
-
A clear, independent way to understand AI
-
A simple tool to identify your AI adoption pattern
-
A guide to what’s helping you, what’s hurting you, and what to do next
-
A public benchmark built for real life, not tech insiders
If AI has ever made you feel anxious, confused, or pressured — this project is for you.
Back it. Share it. Help build clarity in a noisy AI world.
What We’ll Deliver
1. Report on AI Adaptability Trends
A publically available White Paper that reports on what drives successful AI adoption — and what doesn’t.
2. Find out how you work with AI
An online quiz to understand your AI adoption patterns and what tools make sense for you.
3. See if your organization is ready for AI
An online assessment tool of your organization to know where AI fits, what to prioritize, and what to fix first.

Independence & Transparency Charter
This charter is the backbone of the project.
It’s how we ensure the world gets something it can trust.
1. No sponsor or backer can influence the research
No enterprise, vendor, or individual can edit, shape, cancel, or bias the findings.
2. All funding flows are transparent
Through Open Collective, every dollar in and out is publicly visible.
3. All methods are published openly
Sampling, analysis, frameworks, and limitations are shared publicly.
4. All deliverables are public
The benchmark report, segment profiles, tools, and assessments are free and accessible.
5. No data is sold
Backer data, survey data, and research data are never sold or shared with vendors.
6. No hidden agenda
We are not selling a product. We are building a public resource.
7. No enterprise influence
Enterprise backers receive early access — not editorial control.
8. No vendor involvement
This project is not funded by AI companies, tool vendors, or consultancies.
9. No pay‑to‑play
No one can buy their way into the findings.
10. Radical transparency
We build in public, publish updates, and show our work as it develops.
