Human Initiative is dedicated to understanding how technological change, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), is impacting people, organisations, and society. On this page you’ll find our latest surveys, research projects, and published insights.
Featured: AI Impact – UK Industry Survey
We have launched our first national survey to better understand how people across different sectors believe AI will reshape work and industry over the next five years.
AI Impact: UK Industry – Have Your Say
Survey title: AI Impact: UK Industry
Who it’s for: Anyone working in, or familiar with, any industry sector in the UK.
Time to complete: Approximately 60 seconds.
Take part in the survey here: http://bit.ly/3KfWNwB
Our first “AI Impact: UK Industry” survey is available until 20 January 2026.
The results from this survey will be analysed and published on this page. We will look at how perceptions differ across sectors, seniority levels, and levels of understanding of AI, and we will highlight where support and safeguards may be most needed.
Research Updates
As our work develops, this section will host summaries of our latest findings, downloadable reports, and links to external publications or collaborations.
Upcoming: Initial Findings from the AI Impact: UK Industry Survey
Once the survey closes, we plan to publish an accessible overview of key trends, including:
- Which industry sectors are assessed to be most affected by AI over the next five years.
- How positive or negative people feel about AI’s impact within their own sector.
- What respondents believe is driving AI-related change (cost, skills, regulation, competition, etc.).
- How levels of AI understanding influence perceptions of risk and opportunity.
These insights will support our broader mission: protecting people’s quality of life while enabling organisations to innovate and remain economically competitive.
