According to the Federal Reserve Bank's 2025 Small Business Credit Survey, among U.S. businesses using AI, the percentage expecting revenue growth over the next 12 months is 48.2 percentage points higher than those expecting a decline. In contrast, this gap is only 20.6 percentage points among businesses not using AI, less than half that of AI-using businesses. Meanwhile, the percentage expecting an increase in headcount is 32.7 percentage points higher than those expecting a decrease; for non-AI-using businesses, this gap is only 15.2 percentage points. Even after adjusting for business characteristics, the demographics of business owners, and changes in revenue and employment over the past 12 months, these differences persist.
