Well, you can try to do a job search in those countries, and look at titles and the job descriptions. Also looknat the curriculums of universities in those countries, and don’t be fooled by the official sites. Look in forums how good they are in AI topics.
I did the interviews for grad recruitment in tech at a big investment bank in London. The best maths and computer science graduates where frequently from the Eastern European countries.
How about that the Danish pharma giant Novo Nordisk, makers of Ozempic, is opening their AI/ML lab in London next to DeepMind and other tech giants, instead of in its back yard?
The only one close to UK in Europe is probably Switzerland and France but they too are mostly focused on research in universities rather than pushing out commercial products the way the US is exceeding at. Everyone else is not even in the game.
Exactly nr 2 is Switzerland with ETH. Both together with France at a VERY academic level. Next maybe far far away Italy and Germany in very different fields, but at levels comparable (if not worse) with south America, like Chile Argentina Brasil and Uruguay
