Does it mean the number of companies newly adopting AI is dropping? That could mean that its just saturated so of course it would drop? Unless I am reading this graph wrong and it's actually the same companies that are now no longer adopting AI?

I believe it's the second case. Otherwise far over 100% of firms "adopted" AI by now, which doesn't make sense unless they keep un-adopting and re-adopting.

The question from BTOS is

> Between MMM DD – MMM DD, did this business use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in producing goods or services? (Examples of AI: machine learning, natural language processing, virtual agents, voice recognition, etc.)

No I think the measure is "are using". I am actually quite flabbergasted that what seem like such a useful tool is not nearly as useful as you would believe.

"one question is whether a business has used AI tools such as machine learning, natural language processing, virtual agents or voice recognition to help produce goods or services in the past two weeks."
