The World Bank urges developing countries to harness AI: “They can achieve in a decade what would take them a century”
The institution sees in artificial intelligence a historic opportunity for emerging countries if it is adopted in the right way.
Achieving in just one decade advances that would previously have required a century is no longer a pipe dream for emerging economies. According to the World Bank, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential for millions of people in low- and middle-income countries to access better health, education, and judicial services in the coming years, as well as help increase the productivity of their agricultural and business fabric.
But the future is not yet written: for this expectation to become a reality, existing technology will have to be rapidly adopted and adapted to local needs, warns a report published on Tuesday by the multilateral organization.
