According to the note, over 50% of large companies and 15% of small companies adopt artificial intelligence, but a critical issue emerges: at least six out of ten companies, although interested, are forced to give up due to a lack of skills. Many SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) struggle to hire or train figures capable of managing data analysis, system maintenance, and AI integration into business processes.
