How People Work with AIAn independent study

Findings

Study findings

The findings will be published in two forms: an academic paper, and a free, plain-language summary on this page, open to anyone. There are no findings yet. Here’s where the study is, and what will appear here.

Where the study is now

  1. Pilot testing Now

    The site is open, and a first group is testing the questions, the prompts and the site. If the questions change before the main study, earlier responses are analysed separately.

  2. Collecting responses

    Responses are invited more widely. The close date will be posted here.

  3. Analysis

    Responses are checked, de-identified and analysed. No new submissions, but you can still delete yours with your private code until findings are published.

  4. Findings published

    A free summary here, and the academic paper once it’s out.

What will be published

A free summary, on this page

  • What the study found about the habits that set apart people who get real results from AI
  • How much comes down to the person, the tools they have, or the work itself
  • How many people took part, by level of experience (small groups combined)
  • What it means for people and organizations, in plain language

An academic paper

The full method and results, written for peer review. Once it’s published, a link will appear here, along with a free copy wherever the journal allows.

The summary on this page is free for anyone to read and use.

How people are protected in the results

  • Results are published only as totals and paraphrased examples that don’t identify anyone.
  • Descriptions stay general (“a manager in finance”), never a job title at a named firm.
  • When results are broken down by group, any group with fewer than 5 people is combined with others or left out of that breakdown.
  • No individual report is ever published, or given to anyone else, including journals.

Every level of experience counts, including “I rarely use AI”. About 15 to 20 minutes.

Take part in the study

Optional: get study updates by email

Separate from taking part: sign up whether or not you take part. A few short emails: occasional notes on how the study is going, then the findings when they’re published.

Optional. Your email goes in a separate list that holds no code, answers or report, and we never try to match it to them. It’s used only for this study and deleted after the findings email. How the list is handled · Stop updates any time.
