AI RESEARCH

💡 Half of UK Firms Testing Generative AI

Eden McCallum's research shows over half of UK firms are testing Generative AI, despite economic uncertainty.

Key Takeaways:

• 58% of businesses are pessimistic about the UK's economic outlook.

• The importance of GenAI on their agendas has risen steadily over the last 12 months.

• A majority of 57% said they were at least exploring use cases

• 30% of respondents told Eden McCallum that they were spending on training existing staff to use AI

AI CHART

Apple announced many new AI features, showcasing its strengths but also its lack of a standout feature. Despite AI's versatility, few people use it daily. A survey found only 11% of adults have tried AI tools, mainly for experiments or answering questions. Only 28% used AI to create media, and 24% used it to get information. Apple aims to change this with new tools, but it's uncertain what will become popular.
