What the source says
In 2025, among EU enterprises who had ever considered using AI technologies, the most common reason for not using AI technologies was the lack of relevant expertise (70.89%), followed by lack of clarity about the legal consequences (52.52%), and concerns regarding violation of data protection and privacy (48.83%).
Checked: the figure 48.8% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
