What shapes AI adoption in UK professional services: insight from the survey
The UK government hopes to get more firms to use AI, in the expectation that productivity gains will follow. Professional services firms are natural candidates to adopt AI because of the nature of their work. In a new survey, Dr John Lourenze Poquiz, Dr Aleks Turobov and Dr Nina Jörden found that two in five are already using AI but nearly half say no government policy intervention would change their current plans. The main barrier they cite is lack of clarity on liability. Safe harbour provisions and guidance on professional liability for AI-assisted work come first in their list of asks, ahead of policies such as grants and tax relief.
