AI Risk
Observatory
Built for policymakers and resilience researchers, the Observatory tracks AI-related risk, adoption, and third-party AI exposure across UK public-company annual reports — with a focus on Critical National Infrastructure sectors.
AI Disclosure Trends Over Time
Share of UK public-company annual reports mentioning AI risk, LLM adoption, and AI-related cybersecurity by filing year.
Values show the proportion of UK public-company annual reports that mention each disclosure type in a given year. p = partial year; 2026 data is not a full-year sample.
The Observatory gives policymakers and resilience researchers a clearer picture of how AI-related risk and adoption are distributed across the UK economy — and where meaningful disclosure is notably absent, particularly across Critical National Infrastructure sectors.
We use annual reports as our primary source because they are audited and legally mandated. Which makes them a consistent baseline for tracking corporate perspectives on AI risk exposures.
