| # Finance and AI Statistics (Source-Backed) | |
| A small, curated dataset of statistics on AI adoption in finance, AI financial model risk, and spreadsheet reliability. Every figure links to a primary or authoritative source: an academic study, an official report, or reputable press for an event. No figure without a traceable source. | |
| ## Why this exists | |
| Finance and AI statistics get recycled across blog posts until the original source is lost, and often until the number itself has drifted from what the study actually said. This dataset keeps the figure, its exact scope, and its primary source together, so it can be cited without laundering a number through five secondary blogs. | |
| ## Columns | |
| metric: what is measured. value: the figure, as the source states it. statement: one-line context, with nuance preserved. scope: population, sample, period. year: reference year of the figure. source_org: the primary source. source_url: link to the primary source. | |
| ## Scope and inclusion | |
| A row is included only if the source is primary or authoritative, it is linked, the figure is quoted as stated with no sense-changing rounding and no merged studies, scope is given, and nuance is preserved. A contributing factor is not written as a cause. | |
| ## Maintenance | |
| Reviewed every 6 to 12 months. Dead links are re-sourced or removed. This mirrors the fuller, annotated library maintained by Layerz, at https://app.layerz.cc/resources : AI in finance, AI financial model risk, spreadsheet errors and risks, and fractional CFO statistics. | |
