EU survey finds 42% of interviewed SMEs use AI or algorithmic management
A European Commission survey published October 14 says 42% of interviewed EU small and mid-sized firms use AI and algorithmic management, mostly in limited or experimental ways, while 21% plan to adopt. The measure combines AI with automated management systems that need not be AI. About 12,826 phone interviews were conducted in March and April 2026 across the 27 EU countries, so the result describes the surveyed firms rather than every business or AI adoption alone.
