AI Impact Simulation
What AI shifts in your company: work, decisions and accountability, stage by stage.
When AI arrives in a company, the first thing to change is who does which work and who decides. The org chart often stays the same for a long time. That is why the shift goes largely unnoticed until a decision goes wrong and nobody can say who answers for it.
The simulation shows this shift for a typical company in your industry, from work without AI to fully AI-supported work. You also see how much of it your current rules already cover and where you can start.

Your answers
Four questions. The result updates with every answer.
How to read the result: choose a stage. Everything below then shows that stage.
Ten routine decisions
Org chart: how many people could work where
Each box is one area. It shows the number of employees the model works with at this stage and the change compared with stage 0. The bar shows what the people there spend their time on. In your company it may look different.
Where the time goes
Management, managers and all other employees at the chosen stage. Watch how the light gray share for routine work gets smaller.
The whole company from stage 0 to stage 5. Clicking a row selects that stage.
Three decisions in your industry that move
How the simulation works: the stages, their years and the sources
The years apply to your industry. For stages 0 to 3 there are surveys and forecasts; stages 4 and 5 are my own estimate. All figures are a model for a typical company in your industry. They show the direction, not a forecast for your company.
- In 2024, 13.5 percent of EU enterprises with ten or more employees used AI. In 2025 it was 20.0 percent (Eurostat, December 2025).
- In the United States, about one in five businesses reported using AI in early 2026 (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, May 2026, on the Census Bureau’s Business Trends and Outlook Survey).
- By 2028, AI agents are expected to make at least 15 percent of day-to-day work decisions on their own, up from zero in 2024 (Gartner, October 2024). At the same time, Gartner expects more than 40 percent of agent projects to be canceled by the end of 2027, often because the benefit is unclear and risk controls are missing.
- In the EU, Article 4 of the AI Act has required measures to build staff AI literacy since February 2, 2025; it sets no particular level per person. Under the digital omnibus, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the obligations for high-risk systems under Annex III apply from December 2, 2027.
- Depending on the industry, the stage years shift by up to two years in either direction.
