September AI Economic Futures

Compiling research-driven insights - data gathering in progress, results coming soon

We are gathering data to measure how AI will expand what people can accomplish.

The Economic Futures program will measure AI's economic impact through real-world usage data. We are currently compiling data on task completion rates, workflow changes, and opportunity capture patterns to understand how intelligent assistance will affect professional productivity. Results will be published soon.

Tracking opportunity expansion

We will publish ongoing research tracking how AI helps professionals seize more opportunities, refining our understanding based on real-world usage patterns once data collection is complete.

Learning from the field

We are collaborating with economists, industry professionals, and policy experts to understand how AI will expand human bandwidth in practice.

Privacy-first research

Our Economic Futures research will be powered by privacy-preserving analysis that lets us learn from usage patterns while protecting individual privacy.

Why Economic Futures?

AI claims to boost productivity are everywhere. But where's the data? Most metrics track outputs—emails sent, documents generated, tasks completed—without asking whether any of it creates economic value.

Economic Futures will measure what matters: Will professionals close more deals? Take on higher-value clients? Pursue opportunities they would have missed? We will track value creation, not vanity metrics. Through privacy-preserving analysis of BAP usage, we are gathering data to build the first rigorous dataset on AI's economic impact in professional work.

We will publish our findings openly once data compilation is complete. We are collaborating with economists, policy experts, and researchers who want to understand this transition. Because if AI is going to reshape how professionals work, we need real data—not vendor marketing—to guide decisions about adoption, regulation, and investment.
