A portrait of AI adopters across countries
Firm characteristics, assets’ complementarities and productivity
This report analyses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in firms across 11 countries.
Based on harmonised statistical code (AI diffuse) applied to official firm-level surveys,
it finds that the use of AI is prevalent in ICT and Professional Services and more
widespread across large – and to some extent across young – firms. AI users tend to
be more productive, especially the largest ones. Complementary assets, including ICT
skills, high-speed digital infrastructure, and the use of other digital technologies,
which are significantly related to the use of AI, appear to play a critical role in
the productivity advantages of AI users.
