Albania ranks among the countries with the lowest use of artificial intelligence, according to reported data. Only 15.8% of Albanians declare that they regularly use AI tools in their daily lives or at work, a level that remains significantly below the European average, where many EU countries exceed the 30–40% threshold.
Countries like Ireland, France, and Spain reach penetration levels above 39–41%, indicating a much faster and broader adoption of new technologies.
Europeans are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) – but some countries are showing greater enthusiasm than others, according to new data.
Since the launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI in 2022, over 1.2 billion people worldwide have used AI tools, according to Microsoft's report.
This is a faster rate of adoption than other major technologies, including the Internet, the personal computer, and the smartphone.
Today, the European Union is at the forefront of AI adoption, especially its wealthier countries, the report notes. Ireland leads the bloc, with 41.7% of people regularly using AI in their daily lives or at work.
Next are France (40.9%) and Spain (39.7%).
At the other end of the spectrum are Romania (15.3%) and Greece (17.7%), the countries where people are least likely in the EU to use AI in daily life or at work.
Looking beyond the EU, Norway and the United Kingdom also turn out to be among the most enthusiastic: 45.3% of Norwegians and 36.4% of Britons regularly use AI, according to the report.
Microsoft notes that, on a global scale, AI adoption is closely linked to a country's level of economic development. In the Global North, adoption reaches around 23%, compared to 13% in the Global South.
AI adoption has also been faster in countries with stable electricity supplies, good internet connectivity and robust computing infrastructure. However, almost four billion people around the world live in regions where these factors still remain a challenge.

“This gap is not just related to access to AI tools; it also reflects broader inequalities in infrastructure, education, and language,” the report says./ Monitor
