Methodology

This dataset forms part of the Human Clarity Institute’s Human–AI Experience research programme, examining how AI adoption is reshaping work, professional identity, autonomy, belonging, and perceptions of personal value in the workplace. The study uses a cross-sectional online survey design and focuses on descriptive patterns in how workers experience AI-enabled workplaces, changing expectations, and evolving relationships between human contribution and intelligent systems.

Data were collected via the Prolific research platform on 12 November 2025 from adults currently in paid employment across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Participants provided informed consent for their de-identified survey responses to be publicly released for research purposes.

Sampling & Participants

  • Final sample: 504 participants
  • Sampling countries: United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand
  • Eligibility: Adults (18+) currently in paid employment
  • Recruitment platform: Prolific

The resulting dataset should be interpreted as a non-probability convenience sample and is not intended to represent national workforces.

Data Integrity

All percentages reported on this page are calculated from valid responses in the cleaned dataset. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number for readability. Unless otherwise stated, summary percentages combine respondents selecting 5–7 on the 7-point agreement scale.

Public release datasets undergo structured de-identification prior to publication. Direct identifiers, participant IDs, timestamps, geographic variables, and participant free-text responses are removed or transformed where appropriate to reduce re-identification risk while preserving research utility.

This dataset is exploratory and descriptive in nature. It does not support causal inference and results should be interpreted as observed patterns within the survey sample.

Data use and reuse terms are outlined in our Data Use & Disclaimer.
