Introduction
What is your role in your organisation/institution, and how does it relate to AI research, adoption or implementation?
How long have you performed work related to AI technologies, and in what capacity?
How would you assess the overall level of AI adoption in the context you are most familiar with—whether that be nationally, across Europe, or within specific sectors? Are there particular patterns of AI uptake you’ve observed—such as in specific types of organisations, areas of application, or sectors—that stand out based on your research or experience?
AI Adoption and Integration
· Have you seen notable differences in AI uptake between small and large organisations, or between public and private sectors?
What are the most common types of engagement with AI you have observed (e.g., research integration, early prototypes, scaled commercial deployment)?
Have you seen any shifts in adoption patterns or organisational behaviour relating to AI in recent years?
Key Challenges and Opportunities
What are the primary barriers your sector/different sectors are facing regarding AI adoption?
Do these barriers differ across various segments or types of organisations within your sector/different sectors? If so, how?
What opportunities or solutions do you see for overcoming these barriers, whether through policy intervention, industry collaboration, or technological innovation?
What are the main challenges that AI experts encounter when trying to translate research advances into practical industrial applications, or when advocating for the uptake of AI technologies?
AI Trends and Considerations
Are there specific AI applications or technologies that are currently underutilised or underexplored in your sector but hold significant potential for broader adoption? What do you believe would be necessary to unlock this potential?
How would you prioritise the criteria for evaluating AI’s impact or readiness in your context? For example, do factors such as AI maturity, level of integration, performance, or cost-benefit carry different weights when deciding on AI investments or assessing AI solutions?
Do you perceive any emerging ethical or societal concerns that are currently underestimated in public debates or policy discussions?
