What an LSE-CBI survey found about AI adoption in UK firms


The crises and changes of the 2020s have provided many challenges for UK firms, and these occurred against a background of stagnant productivity since the financial crisis. But crises can also force productivity-enhancing change in businesses. For example, our previous surveys, conducted in collaboration with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) in 2020 and 2021, found that firms innovated more as a result of COVID-19. Since our last survey, the UK and other economies experienced an energy crisis hitting businesses and consumers hard; and in response to the ongoing climate crisis and net zero targets, many businesses are accelerating sustainability programmes.
