Industry Reports
The Wharton Blueprint for AI Agent Adoption
AI agents are here, and they work. The main barriers to adoption are now psychological. Using an agent requires believing it can perform tasks correctly, trusting it with sensitive information, and relinquishing control. Created with Science Says, this Blueprint bridges that gap by drawing on behavioral science in human-AI interaction, guidance from Wharton faculty, and lessons from organizations deploying agents at scale.
The Wharton-Accenture Skills Index
AI is accelerating the shift from a role-based labor market to a skills-based economy, sharpening the relevance of the gap between what workers signal and what employers actually reward. To bring clarity to this transition, Wharton and Accenture developed a recurring, empirical benchmark designed to measure which skills matter, which do not and how quickly the economy is shifting beneath us.
Accountable Acceleration: Gen AI Fast-Tracks Into the Enterprise
As Gen AI fast-tracks into budgets, processes, and training, executives need benchmarks, not anecdotes. Developed with GBK Collective, this unique, year-over-year, cross-sectional study shows where the common use cases are, where returns are emerging, and which people- and process-levers could convert mainstream use into durable ROI.
