- Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS), national and sector estimates. A new two-week wave is published about every other week, and this page refreshes daily.
- Shares count businesses, not workers. A small shop and a large employer each count once.
- Census now words the question as "Super Intelligence or SI (formerly referred to as Artificial Intelligence or AI)". The series in this form starts in November 2025, so long-run comparisons with earlier AI questions aren't shown.
- The effect-on-jobs questions have only been asked in the most recent wave, so they're shown as a snapshot, not a trend.
- Industry estimates that Census suppressed for reliability are left out rather than estimated.
