IBM Global AI Adoption Index
This should not surprise anyone I think.
Slow high-tech adoption in Europe is nothing new. We see this for decades and has led to Europe entirely falling behind the US and China.
Often India is forgotten - no idea why - but as one can see they have pretty much the same adoption rate as China and will be a leader.
Europe's contributions often remain in educating the AI talent that then works elsewhere and also in regulating technology use.
This is an important contribution as well and creates lots of jobs for EU policymakers, mainly with US, Indian, and soon Chinese tech companies.
Now the numbers below show China, India and Singapore in total leading. Then there is also - to my surprise - Italy.
I would challenge this and will reach out to IBM on this...
There is of course quite a difference between deploying AI and merely exploring it. The latter can mean just anything and nothing and IMHO often really nothing at all.
If we look at the numbers for deployed then China and India come out with nearly twice as many installations as e.g. Germany.
One other surprise is that the US is both total and deployed below the global average even.
I guess there is a two-class adoption then. Some world leaders are crazy about using AI and then many not doing anything at all.
