The real frontier in AI isn’t technical, it’s human. Research shows that workers want AI to take the grind, not the wheel. Across industries, workers are calling for AI that augments judgment, not replaces it. Enter the Human Agency Scale, a new framework that redefines success not as full automation, but as meaningful collaboration. It’s a signal to leaders: if you want adoption, design for agency.

AI adoption has taken off, but readiness hasn’t caught up. This year’s index captures the widening gap between capability and comprehension: performance is soaring, but responsible practices lag. Most companies recognize the risks, yet few act. Policymakers are moving faster than before, and AI literacy is emerging as a key differentiator across economies. The takeaway? In the next phase of AI, trust, transparency, and education will matter as much as speed.
