"Advanced Technologies Adoption and Use by U.S. Firms: Evidence from the Annual Business Survey".
We report on the adoption of AI, cloud computing, robotics and the digitization of business information at 850,000 firms. nber.org/papers/w28290
@nberpubs We find that digitization is quite widespread, as is some use of cloud computing.
