The geography of artificial intelligence in European regions: innovation, exposure and use
The geography of artificial intelligence in European regions: innovation, exposure and use AI development and adoption vary across the European Union.
A new study maps AI innovation, worker exposure, and firm-level use across various EU regions. While many workers are exposed to AI, high-income areas with significant human capital concentrate actual innovation and firm-level adoption.
For public sector professionals, this shows a clear gap between AI potential and productive use. It suggests that policy needs to go beyond providing general tools. Success may require supporting leading hubs while building specific capabilities in regions that currently lag behind.
How can we ensure AI benefits reach all regions equally?
