01Adoption
Trust, usefulness and continued use
Technology acceptance, perceived value, credibility, risk, social influence and the conditions that sustain or interrupt use.
Research area 01
AI adoption & future of work
How people and institutions decide whether to trust, adopt, resist and govern intelligent systems.
This programme examines AI adoption across work, education, finance and digital commerce. It connects technology-acceptance research with task change, perceived displacement, capability development, organisational governance and the emerging use of generative and agentic AI.

Research map
Three connected lines of inquiry.
The map keeps the programme broad enough to grow while making its boundaries and analytical emphasis visible.
02Work
Tasks, capability and displacement
Augmentation, substitution, task redesign, skills, agency and workers’ expectations about occupational change.
03Institutions
Implementation and governance
How organisations procure, introduce, evaluate and govern AI across operational and professional settings.
Current questions
Questions that organise the work.
These are programme-level questions. Individual studies define narrower populations, interventions, systems, jurisdictions and periods.
- 01
Which beliefs, capabilities and social conditions explain adoption, continued use and rejection of AI-enabled systems?
- 02
When does AI augment work, redistribute tasks or intensify perceived displacement and insecurity?
- 03
How can organisations introduce generative and agentic AI while preserving accountability, expertise and meaningful human control?
Research programme
Workstreams, not content buckets.
Each stream can contain projects, publications, evidence reviews, methods, datasets and public outputs without duplicating their underlying records.
Adoption, outcomes and harms
Systematic and mixed-methods reviews that separate causal effects, associations, experiences, contexts and harms.
Acceptance and workplace transition
Survey, modelling and mixed-methods studies of adoption, perceived displacement and organisational readiness.
Responsible introduction of AI
Decision tools, implementation records and public guidance for organisations adopting generative and agentic systems.
Selected work
Research, analysis and public records.
Records are drawn from reviewed programme assignments and retain their existing catalogue, publication and canonical identities.
