IMF: AI Could Raise Europe’s Productivity, Deepen Strains — Sep 19, 2026IMF studies and remarks warn that AI could raise EU productivity by about 1% over five years, but benefits would be uneven and could strain power grids and raise dependence on foreign technology unless Europe deepens economic integration and invests in energy, infrastructure, and skills. At the global level, the IMF cautions that inflation remains stubborn, debt service costs rise, and AI financing concentrated in the United States could pose systemic risks, even as growth around 3% would be a notable achievement.
