Each summary shows what was studied, what the researchers found and what the finding may mean for managers. You can read the original source through the links.
Start with these questions
- Do people check AI answers at work? A 2025 survey of more than 48,000 people in 47 countries, with figures for seven Asia-Pacific countries.
- How is AI changing management decisions? Deloitte's 2026 research with more than 9,000 business and HR leaders.
- What work is needed to review and correct AI output? BCG's 2026 survey of 11,749 people in 14 markets.
- When does AI help with a task, and when does it not? An experiment with 758 consultants.
- Does a person and AI always make a better team? A review of 106 experiments.
- Which skills do employers expect to grow by 2030? The World Economic Forum's 2025 report draws on a 2024 survey of over 1,000 employers in 55 economies. It covers systems thinking and training needs.
Understand the evidence
Surveys tell us what people report. They can show common experiences and concerns.
Experiments compare people or groups under different conditions. Their findings apply to the tasks and conditions studied.
Research reviews bring several studies together. They help us see patterns across the available evidence.
A figure always belongs to a group of people. Each summary says who answered, and how often the answer applied.
Research relevant to Asia Pacific
Start with the country findings in the KPMG and University of Melbourne study. They cover India, China, Singapore, Korea, Australia, Japan and New Zealand. BCG's 2026 survey also includes Australia, India and Japan.
We also use global research where it helps explain the issue. A study from one setting does not describe every organisation in the region.
How this research informs StepSim
The research helps explain why checking, limits, feedback and responsibility belong in practice for the decisions people make with AI. StepSim provides that practice through realistic cases and a trainer-led discussion.
Results from these studies describe the studies themselves. They do not measure the effect of StepSim. StepSim's assessment method is explained separately.
