economics between USA and Europe are widening

No, this article is just about the gap in AI adoption. The closest it says is

And they considered whether the AI adoption gap between the United States and Europe is affecting productivity. The worker surveys suggest perhaps it is. Aggregate time savings (including both AI users and non-users) were 2.3% of hours in the United States versus 1.4% in Europe

"perhaps" there is a gap of 0.9% according to worker surveys. Astonishing. Let's throw trillions more at it, maybe we can save 3 whole percent of hours. Well, according to the extremely accurate measure of worker self-report.

how economics between countries that were slow to adapt emerging tech, specifically AI, are falling behind at a logarithmic pace.

This is based on data from 1970 to 2019. Another article cited is based on data from 2008 to 2017. ChatGPT was released in 2022.

The last study is pretty technical, and I don't have an easy debunk of it, but it also stresses the importance of non-AI factors. It mostly seems to take the idea that the economy will be overtaken by AI as a given.
