Our Latest Research
The State of UK AI Adoption Survey 2026
The aibl State of UK AI Adoption Survey 2026 covers AI deployment, governance, and measurable ROI across five business functions: Marketing and Sales, HR and People, Operations and Finance, Technology and Data, and the C-suite.
We asked 755 senior leaders, the largest dedicated study of its kind. Fewer than half can prove their AI spend paid off. Nobody else has this number, and the whole day is built on it.
The findings underpin market intelligence reports for AI vendors and benchmark playbooks for in-house function leaders.
The AI Foundations Series
The AI Foundations series covers the structural moves that separate organisations proving AI ROI from those still running activity without outcomes: governance, measurement, capability building, and strategic ownership.
Every article is grounded in the aibl State of UK AI Adoption Survey 2026.
The series is written for the function leaders and C-suite executives accountable for AI delivery.
Topics include AI governance frameworks, transformation strategy, generative AI for business, AI readiness, agentic AI, capability building, and the AI skills gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is aibl?
aibl (say “able”) is the content and events platform that helps scale-up and mid-market business leaders adopt AI in practical, outcome-driven ways. aibl is short for AI For Business Leaders.
We are focused on the needs of businesses with £20m–£1bn in revenue, providing guidance that is operator-led, not theoretical.
We deliver weekly insights through our free newsletter, aiblBRIEF.
We host flagship in-person events, including aiblLIVE London, the UK’s first hands-on AI adoption experience for business leaders.
And through aiblCONNECT, we create co-branded research and provide year-round lead generation for solutions providers looking to reach this market.
Who should attend aibl events?
Our events are designed for C-suite executives and functional leaders (including heads of Sales, Marketing, Operations, Finance, People, and Technology) and AI Champions from scale-up and mid-market businesses.
If you are actively exploring AI adoption and want practical, hands-on guidance rather than hype or theory, aibl events are built for you.
Whether you are at the very start of your AI journey or looking to scale existing pilots, our events provide actionable frameworks, real-world case studies, and direct access to operators and experts who can help you move forward with confidence.
How is aibl different from other AI events and content?
aibl is different in three fundamental ways.
First, we are focused exclusively on scale-up and mid-market businesses. We understand the unique resource constraints and operational realities of this segment.
Second, we are 100% practical and outcome-driven. Every session, article and playbook is designed to be implemented, not just consumed.
Third, we are 100% human-first and independent.
While we work closely with a wide range of vendors and solutions providers through our aiblCONNECT ecosystem, our events and content are entirely editorially independent.
We cut through AI hype with plain-speaking, trusted guidance from operators who have done it themselves.
Is aibl a training provider or consultancy?
No. aibl is a insights and events platform. We don’t provide training courses or consulting services. We create hands-on learning experiences through events, deliver practical content through our newsletter and research, and facilitate connections within a trusted ecosystem.
How much does aiblBRIEF cost?
aiblBRIEF is completely free.
Subscribe to receive weekly practical AI guidance, real-world case studies, actionable playbooks and interviews directly to your inbox every Friday.

We offer flexible partnership packages through our aiblCONNECT ecosystem.
These include thought leadership opportunities at aiblLIVE events, co-branded research and content, year-round lead generation programs, and integrated go-to-market solutions designed to connect you with mid-market decision-makers.
Whether you are an AI platform vendor, a consultancy, or a service provider, we can tailor a partnership that supports your growth objectives.
