[Source](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/State.xlsx). - Expected AI use, next six months: 31.8%. [Source](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/State.xlsx). - Recent current-use average: 26.5%; 6 of six observations available. Calculated arithmetic average, not an official Census aggregate. - National current-use benchmark: 23.8%. [Source](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/National.xlsx). - Current estimate standard error: 1.21 percentage points. - Expected estimate standard error: 1.13 percentage points. - Difference from national current-use estimate: +4.0 percentage points (calculated; subject to sampling variation). ## Reading Florida’s data - Florida’s latest current-use rate is 4.0 percentage points above the national estimate of 23.8%. This is a descriptive comparison of survey estimates. - State estimates are subject to sampling variation. Different industry mixes and sampling error can affect comparisons. - Benchmark comparison uses the same reference period: 2026-09-07–2026-09-20. - State benchmark source: [Census state workbook](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/State.xlsx). - National benchmark source: [Census national workbook](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/National.xlsx). ## Other South states - These are the four same-region states with the closest recent averages; this is a descriptive comparison, not a statistical ranking. - Source for all peer observations: [Census state workbook](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/State.xlsx). - [Georgia](/georgia.md): recent current-use average 25.4%; 6 of six observations available (calculated). - [Delaware](/delaware.md): recent current-use average 28.0%; 6 of six observations available (calculated). - [Texas](/texas.md): recent current-use average 24.5%; 6 of six observations available (calculated). - [Virginia](/virginia.md): recent current-use average 24.2%; 6 of six observations available (calculated). - Peer averages use available observations from the same six-period window. Coverage may differ. ## Definitions and limitations - Current-use survey question: In the last two weeks, did this business use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in any of its business functions? - Expected-use survey question: During the next six months, do you think this business will be using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in any of its business functions? - Expected use is anticipated use, not an observed future outcome. - November 2025 revised wording starts this series; earlier wording is excluded. - Suppressed observations are unavailable, not zero, and are omitted from recent averages. ## Behind the figures - Recent-average window: 2026-06-29 through 2026-09-20. - Recent average: arithmetic mean of available current-use estimates in the last six periods; it is not an official Census aggregate. - Standard errors are published Census values, in percentage points. - Census estimates are weighted survey measures of employer businesses. - Calculation input: [Census state workbook](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/State.xlsx). ## Adoption history - Source for every observation: [Census state workbook](https://www.census.gov/hfp/btos/downloads/State.xlsx). - 2025-11-03–2025-11-16: current 16.5%; expected 20.7%; released 2025-12-04. - 2025-11-17–2025-11-30: current 17.7%; expected 23.3%; released 2025-12-18. - 2025-12-01–2025-12-14: current 21.1%; expected 26.1%; released 2025-12-31. - 2025-12-15–2025-12-28: current 20.0%; expected 25.2%; released 2026-01-15. - 2025-12-29–2026-01-11: current 20.5%; expected 23.7%; released 2026-01-29. - 2026-01-12–2026-01-25: current 23.9%; expected 26.4%; released 2026-02-12. - 2026-01-26–2026-02-08: current 18.4%; expected 21.9%; released 2026-02-26. - 2026-02-09–2026-02-22: current 20.6%; expected 24.9%; released 2026-03-12. - 2026-02-23–2026-03-08: current 21.8%; expected 26.6%; released 2026-03-26. - 2026-03-09–2026-03-22: current 20.7%; expected 24.9%; released 2026-04-09. - 2026-03-23–2026-04-05: current 21.9%; expected 23.9%; released 2026-04-23. - 2026-04-06–2026-04-19: current 22.1%; expected 24.9%; released 2026-05-07. - 2026-04-20–2026-05-03: current 18.8%; expected 23.1%; released 2026-05-21. - 2026-05-04–2026-05-17: current 22.5%; expected 26.5%; released 2026-06-04. - 2026-05-18–2026-05-31: current 24.8%; expected 27.2%; released 2026-06-18. - 2026-06-01–2026-06-14: current 22.0%; expected 24.1%; released 2026-07-02. - 2026-06-15–2026-06-28: current 25.4%; expected 27.7%; released 2026-07-16. - 2026-06-29–2026-07-12: current 25.4%; expected 28.9%; released 2026-07-30. - 2026-07-13–2026-07-26: current 23.7%; expected 27.8%; released 2026-08-13. - 2026-07-27–2026-08-09: current 25.7%; expected 28.7%; released 2026-08-27. - 2026-08-10–2026-08-23: current 28.2%; expected 33.3%; released 2026-09-10. - 2026-08-24–2026-09-06: current 28.2%; expected 32.4%; released 2026-09-24. - 2026-09-07–2026-09-20: current 27.8%; expected 31.8%; released 2026-10-08. ## Coding tool scores - Rank 1: Claude Code; score 91/100. - Rank 2: Cursor; score 90/100. - Rank 3: Gemini Code Assist; score 72/100. - Rank 4: OpenAI Codex; score 71/100. - Rank 5: GitHub Copilot; score 64/100. ## Chat platform scores - Rank 1: Microsoft Copilot; score 87/100. - Rank 2: Google Gemini; score 83/100. - Rank 3: ChatGPT; score 80/100. - Rank 4: Claude; score 76/100. - Rank 5: Perplexity; score 47/100. ## Companies headquartered in this state - Selected evidence sample; not an exhaustive company census.
