This study has been made possible thanks to support provided by Germany under the OECD Programme on AI in Work, Innovation, Productivity and Skills. The report is the fruit of a collaboration between the OECD, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and INSEAD Business School.
Alistair Nolan and Andrés Barreneche managed the study from the OECD Secretariat’s side. From BCG, François Candelon, Rodolphe Charme di Carlo, Clement Dumas, Matthieu Gombeau, Lisa Krayer, Max Männig, Gigi Yang and David Zuluaga Martinez led and contributed in multiple ways to the project. BCG also provided funding to implement the enterprise survey.
Theodorus Evgeniou led the INSEAD Business School’s contribution with support from John Fernald.
The literature review presented in Chapter 2 is based on a draft authored by Stephen Ezell and Viktor Lazar of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. They, in turn, were assisted by Robert Atkinson, Ian Clay, Dan Castro, Nigel Cory, Jessica Dine, Jaci McDole and Hodan Omaar. Chapter 3, which presents and analyses the Group of Seven (G7) survey data, is based on work by Daniel Erdsiek and Hildegunn Kyvik Nordås. Chapter 6 reports the results of the same survey administered in Brazil and is the result of work by Alexandre Barbosa, Thiago Meireles, Leonardo Melo, Marcelo Pitta, and Fabio Senne of the Brazilian Network Information Centre. Thanks are likewise due to the Fundação Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados (Statewise System for Data Analysis Foundation) for its role in collecting and analysing the survey data.
Several independent experts provided guidance on survey design and methods, previous survey findings, and related aspects of policy. These include Catherine Aiken, Gerli Baldzens, Benoit Bergeret, William Clements, Irene Ek, Sam Hainsworth, Laurence Liew and Christian Rammer.
Thanks are also due to colleagues in the OECD Secretariat for guidance, analytic input and support in the publication process. These include Brigitte Acoca, Thyme Burdon, Alessandra Colecchia, Sylvain Fraccola, Beatrice Jeffries, Pierre Montagnier, Blandine Serve, Vincenzo Spezia, Stephan Vincent-Lancrin, and Kyriakos Vogiatzis. Thanks are further due to Tausif Bordoloi, who provided valuable research assistance during an internship at the OECD.
