The AI sentiment index (SI) is a comprehensive research initiative designed to measure and interpret how industries view, adopt and invest in artificial intelligence (AI). The index provides a structured understanding of how organizations are progressing from awareness to execution by analyzing sentiment across four core dimensions: adoption, disruption, use case and spend. Combining quantitative scores with expert insights from analysts, subscribers and public contributors, the index captures the evolution of AI from experimental potential to an operational and strategic necessity. It serves as a barometer of market confidence and a benchmark for AI maturity across global industries.
