The shift to autonomous Al is not happening at the same speed everywhere. While early adopters appear in every market, some countries are further along the journey. In these markets, which we call Pioneer Markets, Al use is broader, more frequent and more deeply embedded in everyday life, creating the conditions for delegation to happen sooner and at greater scale.

What distinguishes these markets is experience. People in Pioneer Markets are more which in turn reinforces their more positive experience.
