Compare adoption on compatible terms. Then examine what measured outcomes can establish.

Population, method and interpretation
Percentage of enterprises using at least one AI technology. Selected non-financial business activities (NACE Rev. 2 C–J, L–N and 95.1). Enterprises with at least 10 persons employed. Not intensity of implementation, productivity impact or share of workers using AI.
The EU includes Slovakia and Czechia and is a regional aggregate, not another independent country. The shared observation year is selected automatically. Missing years are gaps; values are not interpolated. Source flags are retained in the survey explorer below.
Method: eurostat-enterprise-ai-size-v1 · Eurostat reuse policy; attribution and stated exceptions apply. Adoption is distinct from cost savings, productivity, job creation and job loss; those outcomes need separate evidence.

Survey scope, dates and source flags
Percentage of enterprises using at least one AI technology. Selected non-financial business activities (NACE Rev. 2 C–J, L–N and 95.1). Enterprises with at least 10 persons employed. Not intensity of implementation, productivity impact or share of workers using AI.
Coverage is European survey participants, not a global adoption ranking. Small firms with fewer than 10 persons employed are excluded. Size classes and the total are separate survey populations; percentages must not be added. EU is an aggregate. Non-response, survey design and sector mix can affect comparisons.
Source flags are retained: b = break in time series; e = estimated; p = provisional; u = low reliability. Missing and confidential values are not replaced by zero. No 2022 observation is inferred.
