  "why_included": "Google UK's Economic Impact Report says 73% of UK workers now use AI (up from 34%) and the heaviest users save about 8 hours a week. Vendor-funded numbers, but a read on how fast AI fluency is spreading.",
  "summary": "**The gist** Google UK's Economic Impact Report, produced with **Public First**, claims Google tools supported **£140 billion** in UK economic activity in 2025 and that **73%** of the workforce now uses AI, roughly double the 34% a year earlier. It also launched **AI Works for Britain**, an upskilling push toward the government's 10-million-workers-by-2030 goal.",
  "practical_implication": "**Why it matters** The useful cut for builders is the segmentation: the top **15%** of users — the report's Trailblazers — save about **8 hours weekly** and report better promotion and pay outcomes. That gap between fluent and casual AI users is the market an agent-heavy, signal-filtered workflow serves.",
