84% of GPs have advanced past the exploration phase of AI adoption, 35% are running targeted pilots, 18% consider AI a strategic driver for investment decisions and 6% have reached full automation. The direction of travel is clear. The underlying foundations, however, have not evolved at the same pace.

For the first time, investors can now track the sector’s performance through a dedicated index.
