Fact Sheet #14 – AI & Skills

Demand for AI skills is growing across Europe. The share of AI-related job postings in the EU increased from 0.7% in 2022 to 1.7% in 2025. Around 3.7 million employees were estimated to have in-depth AI skills in 2025, more than double the 1.4 million estimated in 2022.

Demand differs across Member States. Luxembourg, Denmark and Sweden recorded the highest shares of AI-related job postings in 2025, while several Eastern European countries showed rapid growth. Understanding these trends will help align education and vocational training with employers’ AI skills needs and support wider AI adoption across Europe.
