Innovations and development of artificial intelligence in Europe: some empirical evidences

Abstract

PurposeThe objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between innovation and the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies in Europe. The use of digital technologies among European companies is studied through a composite index, while the relationship between innovation and AI is studied through a log-linear regression model. The results of the model have made possible to develop interesting indications for economic and industrial policy.Design/methodology/approachThe use of digital technologies among European companies is studied through a composite index of AI and information technology (ICT) (using the Fair and Sustainable Welfare methodology) with the aim of measuring territorial gaps and to know which European countries are more or less inclined to its use, while the relationship between innovation and AI is studied through a log-linear regression model.FindingsIn the paper, two different methodologies were used to analyze the relationship between innovation and the development of digital technologies in Europe. The synthetic indicator made possible to develop a taxonomy between the different countries, the log-linear model made possible to identify and explain the determinants of innovation.Originality/valueThe description of the biunivocal relationship between innovation and AI is a topical and relevant issue that is treated in the paper in an original way using a synthetic indicator and a log-linear model.

Innovation management among the Indian small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on artificial intelligence: Opportunities and the way forward

“…Some of the important enablers for the functioning of the AI system include computing power, storage capacity, internet speed, and coverage followed by the rest of the technological developments such as IoT, 3D printing, and cheap sensors (OECD, 2021), The Digital Europe program was launched to create a linkage between AI and innovation. Some of the key policy suggestions made in the literature include increased funding toward R&D in AI, tax benefits, employee skill development, partnerships with other firms, educational institutions, and research centers, data sharing among the partner firms, common security, and privacy protection laws (Marino et al, 2023). According to Lu et al (2022), AI-driven opportunities are vast in nature and optimize the process, mitigate business risks, forecast the demands, provide real-time data and insights about the customer's needs, and help in product and service innovation.…”

Philosophy of future: analytical overview of interaction between education, science, and artificial intelligence in the context of contemporary challenges

“…The introduction of AI as a philosophical idea come true is essentially a result of human evolution (Poli, 2019). Originally, the human brain serves as a model and inspiration for AI systems, and further AI, being a product of human culture and innovation (Marino et al, 2023), emerges within the context of human society affected historical, political, social, and economic factors. The philosophical perspective of AI involves a broad range of debates concerning the nature of intelligence, its capabilities, societal impact, and moral responsibility.…”
