AI could boost European productivity by 1% over five years, IMF reports

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reports that artificial intelligence could boost European productivity by an average of 1% over the next five years. However, the organization warns that this technological shift could also exacerbate economic inequalities and increase market tensions.

In Italy, research indicates a significant gap in workplace integration, with 82.4% of companies reporting no current use of AI in office settings. A primary obstacle cited is the lack of employee skills, with nearly 60% of firms noting insufficient expertise. In the education sector, a survey of 1,300 teachers found that while 70% use AI weekly, 67% of those users are self-taught.

To address these challenges, Latvia has launched the AI Training Hub, a program designed to provide free AI skills training to over 1,000 participants through the Riga TechGirls community.
