INTERVIU. România riscă să rateze o parte din câștigul economic adus de AI. Boris Georgiev, Google Cloud: Vedem un comportament diferit în România. Dacă nu accelerăm adopția, impactul asupra PIB nu va ajunge la 5% - Economica.net

Romania lags behind more advanced European markets in AI adoption, which could lead to lower economic gains, warns Boris Georgiev from Google Cloud. He notes a shift in Romanian companies' attitudes towards AI and highlights the potential for a 5% GDP increase over the next decade if AI is adopted widely. However, a five-year delay could reduce this growth to just 1%. While AI usage is growing in sectors like programming and cybersecurity, Romania is still at the beginning of its AI journey. Companies are eager to learn from others' experiences, and examples like Orange show successful AI integration. Despite the current low adoption rate of 5.2% in Romania compared to 20% in the EU, there is an opportunity for rapid advancement. Georgiev emphasizes the need for faster adoption to maximize economic impact.
