The U.S. Census Bureau and “Super Intelligence”

The U.S. Census Bureau's Business Trends and Outlook Survey shows a significant increase in AI adoption among large U.S. companies, rising from about 12% in 2025 to 40% in late 2026, partly due to a broader survey question. The change in question wording expanded AI use from "producing goods or services" to "any business function," impacting reported adoption rates.
