Lagarde: To succeed in AI, Europe needs to enable AI innovation, build greater independence, and deploy AI intensively and broadly. The precise effects of AI remain uncertain. But uncertainty is not a reason for inaction.

Lagarde: The economic effects of AI will work through several channels, including labour markets and income distribution. It’ll change both the tasks people perform and the skills firms need. And how the gains are distributed matters for people, economic activity and inflation.

Lagarde: AI-related investment is rising in Europe but still lags behind the United States. Unlocking the potential of AI for productivity requires substantial investment. This year, our survey shows that euro area firms expect to devote around 10% of total investment to AI.
