About this resource
A research paper by RorTech Managing Director Adam Blackwell examining whether AI adoption is narrowing or reinforcing the capability and productivity divide between UK SMEs and larger, better-capitalised firms.
Drawing on ONS surveys, Bank of England Decision Maker Panel evidence, government and regulatory publications and peer-reviewed research, it explains why access to inexpensive AI tools does not produce equal outcomes, and where SMEs and policymakers need to focus instead.
