European Central Bank Executive Board member Philip R. Lane said AI adoption will be a key driver of productivity growth in the euro area over the next several years, while AI-related spending is already acting as an important support for the region’s economy. In his remarks, Lane pointed to a sharp rise in digital investment across the euro area, saying real digital investment has increased 73% since 2014 and its share of GDP has climbed from 2.3% to 3.3%. He also said companies reported that AI has lifted their capital expenditure plans for this year by about 10%. Lane added that AI was the main force behind global goods trade over the past year. At the same time, he said higher AI-related prices have had only a limited effect on overall inflation in the euro area, according to the ECB.
