Everyone Says They're Adopting AI. We Want to Know What That Means.

The gap between AI buzz and AI reality is wide, and there's not much reliable data about what's actually happening inside organizations. That's why we're running the 2026 State of AI for Business Survey.

Does adoption mean a few people experimenting with ChatGPT on their lunch break? Full teams employing AI to be more efficient and innovative? A documented AI strategy with executive buy-in? Or (let's be honest) a lot of talk and not much action?

Help us build a clearer picture

We're gathering perspectives from professionals across every function, from marketing and sales, to HR, operations, finance, and more to understand the true picture of how AI is being used (or not) inside companies.

This year we've broadened the survey beyond marketing to capture AI adoption across all departments. Because the things that shape adoption, such as leadership, training, and company policy, tend to extend across full organizations.

The survey takes only 7 minutes and covers topics such as your use of AI tools, what's working, what's not, and what’s next.

What's in it for you?

Beyond useful data for your AI planning and strategy, you’ll get:

• The full report. All respondents who provide their contact information will receive a copy of the 2026 State of AI for Business Report, a benchmark you can use internally to compare where your organization stands.
• A chance at free AI training: Every respondent is automatically entered into a drawing for a 12-month AI Mastery Membership (a $999 value) from SmarterX. If you’re already a member, you'll receive a 12-month extension.

So we invite you to take the survey (7 minutes) and share it with your colleagues! The more input we have, the better the data will be. Deadline to respond is March 31, 2026.
