AI adoption in business: 20% of EU companies already use it
Eurostat has recorded a significant rise in AI adoption among European businesses: from 13.5% to 20% in one year. That is 6.5 percentage points of progress, but it is not enough. Europe lags well behind the US and Asia in the pace of digital transformation and innovation. The main obstacles are an acute shortage of IT specialists, high investment costs, the strict EU AI Act regulation, and the cultural conservatism of traditional industries.
