A new survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and reported on by Apolloseems to show that large companies may be tapping the brakes on AI. Large companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August. Most other lines, representing companies with fewer employees, are also at a decline, with some still increasing.

Someone explain to me how I am to see this "rate" as - is it adoption rate or usage rate? IF it is adoption rate 13.5% of all large firms are using it? and it's declined to 12%? Or is it some sort of usage rate and if so, whatever the fuck is 12% usage?

It means 12% of those surveyed answered “yes” to the question “Are you using AI at your company?” (Note this is not the literal question from the survey, because I can’t be assed to dig up their methodology.)

It's stupidly written like AI.
