How Trust in AI Turns Recommendations Into Sales

Analysis of AI use over a year, and whether trust in AI drives buying

This report tracks a full year of AI behaviour in the US and UK, from September 2025 to September 2026, revealing how UK monthly reach grew 3.8X while US reach doubled, and how regular use grew faster than reach in both markets.
