summary
Survey interviews with 17,000 businesses and citizens show EU AI adoption rising from 33% (2024) to 54% (2026) and 4.4 million adopters in 2025 — one every 7 seconds. Awareness climbs 55%→80% and daily use 20%→36%, yet agentic AI awareness 24% with deployment at 3% of that, and only 6% of firms feel able to handle cyberthreats while startups face a 38% flight risk; report quantifies up to €600bn GDP upside by 2030 and flags skills, funding, and regulatory fragmentation as concrete blockers.
