FMI: Inteligenţa artificială ar putea creşte productivitatea Europei cu 1% în următorii cinci ani

The IMF predicts that artificial intelligence could boost Europe's productivity by 1% over the next five years, but it may also exacerbate inequalities and increase reliance on foreign technologies. A report prepared for EU finance ministers highlights that the benefits of AI will not be evenly distributed among countries and workers. Approximately 60% of employees in advanced European economies work in jobs highly exposed to AI, with some benefiting from productivity gains while others face job displacement. Additionally, data centers currently consume 3% of Europe's electricity, a figure expected to rise with AI expansion, stressing local power grids. The IMF calls for investments in energy infrastructure and warns of strategic dependency on the US and China in AI development.
