This data comes from the newly updated Statistics Explained article on the use of artificial intelligence in enterprises.
Artificial intelligence refers to systems that use technologies such as text mining, computer vision, speech recognition, natural language generation, machine learning and deep learning to gather and/or use data to predict, recommend or decide – with varying levels of autonomy – the best action to achieve specific goals.
The highest shares of enterprises with 10 or more employees using AI technologies were in Denmark (15.2%), Finland (15.1%) and Luxembourg (14.4%). Meanwhile, the lowest shares were recorded in Romania (1.5%), Bulgaria (3.6%) and Poland (3.7%) and Hungary (3.7%).
