What the evidence indicates

A concise reading of the source

ECB survey evidence distinguishes widespread use from intensive integration. Most firms use AI lightly, while only a small group embeds it deeply enough to alter production and innovation.

FUURAA interpretation

Why this could matter

The meaningful adoption metric is whether AI changes a core process, not whether employees have opened a tool.
