Research and Signal Briefs
Ongoing research on AI adoption, workflow ownership and the executive decisions that turn AI investment into measurable business change.
The Autonomy Index research programme publishes short executive briefs and longer essays on how organisations move from AI usage to genuine AI adoption. Topics we cover include:
- AI adoption vs AI usage, what the difference actually looks like inside a business.
- Why AI dashboards fail to show business impact.
- How to measure AI workflow ownership.
- How to connect AI adoption to business outcomes.
- Why hours saved is not enough to prove AI ROI.
- What boards should measure after buying AI.
- AI theatre, when activity looks like transformation.
- How the EU AI Act changes AI governance and human oversight.
