They do have some incredibly talented people working for them, and they get to see a great many different organisations of every size, industry, and nationality, or type. You can probably better find the technical state-of-the-art on arxiv github. But I can't think of many people or organisations better placed to know the impact of AI on business. The technology is developed at universities, and at the likes of Google and Facebook, who are focused on in-house applications only. Maybe IBM, but the last person to read an IBM white paper was later seen walking South from McMurdoch station and is feared(and/or hoped) dead. Personally, I still prefer the Kinsey report. But this certainly isn't terrible.
