Greek Businesses Lag in AI Integration Rates in EU

Greek businesses lag in artificial intelligence (AI) integration among EU member states, ranking 18th as a mere 9.81% of corporations used AI tools, Eurostat revealed.

Despite this poor performance, Greece has seen a significant annual growth of 5.83% in artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, nearly tripling its percentage within a year.

In their efforts to upgrade and enhance their activities, Greek businesses are in an ongoing process to integrate various AI technologies.

Text analysis (Text Mining) was the most widely adopted AI technology, implemented by 6.9% of businesses, showed a notable increase of 4.0 percentage points year-over-year.

Natural language generation (NLG) ranked second. This technology is used for generating written or spoken content and was adopted by 5.4% of businesses, reflecting a 3.3 percentage point increase compared to 2023.

Speech recognition came in third, with 4.8% of businesses adopting this type of AI. This marked a 2.2 percentage point rise.

It enables the conversion of spoken language into machine-readable formats.

The upward trend highlights the growing reliance on AI in the Greek business sector to drive innovation and efficiency.

Businesses in Sweden and Denmark were the best performers in the adoption of AI in the business sector within the European common political bloc, with 14.7%, and 12.4%, respectively.
