BUSINESS AI ADOPTION FLATLINES

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

AI adoption held flat for 45% of businesses in November, and there were slight declines in the finance and technology sectors. Adoption rose in several industries with relatively low adoption rates, like retail, construction, and manufacturing. The slowdown comes after a rapid run-up in adoption rates in 2025. The effects of the latest advancements seem to have faded. Another run-up in adoption will likely require technological gains or implementation gains.
