The AI Adoption After 50 Report
How experienced professionals over 50 are actually adopting artificial intelligence at work — which tools, for which tasks, and what stops the ones who stall.
Why it matters
The Gap This Report Fills
AI adoption research is overwhelmingly weighted toward workers under 40, and the coverage of older professionals is usually a story about being left behind. This report measures adoption inside a group that has both judgment and decision authority.

Methodology
- Survey of professionals aged 50 and over across real estate, sales, consulting, and small business ownership.

- Aggregate reporting only, with sample size published beside every figure.
