UK companies disclose AI risks more, but substance lags, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study analyzing 9,821 annual reports from UK-listed companies between 2020 and 2025 reveals a significant increase in AI risk disclosure, rising from 2.8% to 41.2%. Despite this surge, the substantive quality of these disclosures remains low, with only 4.3% of reports in 2025 containing meaningful information about AI risks. The research also found that AI adoption disclosure increased from 13.8% to 45.2% during the same period, with Microsoft being the most frequently mentioned vendor. Critical National Infrastructure sectors and specific market segments like AIM showed varied disclosure rates, with Energy and Data Infrastructure sectors lagging behind. AI

IMPACT Highlights a gap in corporate transparency regarding AI risks, potentially influencing future regulatory disclosure requirements.
