2022-06-15

Modern smart technologies bring changes to EU enterprises. Such smart technologies include artificial intelligence (AI), which gives machines and systems the capability to learn and make decisions with some degree of autonomy to achieve specific goals. It also includes the smart environment called the Internet of Things (IoT), where machines, devices, sensors or systems are interconnected and can communicate with each other via the internet.

Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things in EU enterprises

8% of EU enterprises used AI in 2021

In 2021, 8% of enterprises in the EU used at least one of the following AI technologies:

  • technologies analysing written language (text mining);
  • technologies converting spoken language into a machine-readable format (speech recognition);
  • technologies generating written or spoken language (natural language generation);
  • technologies identifying objects or people based on images (image recognition, image processing);
  • machine learning (e.g. deep learning) for data analysis;
  • technologies automating different workflows or assisting in decision-making (AI-based software robotic process automation);
  • technologies enabling machines to physically move by observing their surroundings and taking autonomous decisions.

Among the EU Member States, Denmark recorded the highest share of enterprises that used any of these seven AI technologies in 2021 (24%). Other countries with relatively high uptake of AI technologies were Portugal (17%) and Finland (16%).

29% of EU enterprises used IoT in 2021

In 2021, 29% of EU enterprises used interconnected devices or systems that can be monitored or controlled remotely via the internet (IoT). Among the enterprises that reported using IoT, the vast majority used it for premises’ security (e.g. smart alarm systems, smart cameras and other smart devices; 72%). To a lesser extent, enterprises used IoT for energy consumption management (e.g. smart meters, smart thermostats; 30%), or for condition-based maintenance (e.g. sensors to monitor maintenance needs of machines or vehicles; 24%).

using IOT technology

Among EU Member States, more than half of enterprises in Austria (51%) used IoT in 2021. Austria was followed by Slovenia (49%), Finland and Sweden (both 40%). In contrast, the lowest shares were recorded in Romania (11%), Bulgaria (15%) and Estonia (17%).
