  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "El Banco Mundial ha instado a los países en desarrollo a aprovechar la inteligencia artificial (IA) para lograr avances significativos en décadas que antes habrían requerido siglos. El informe multilateral, publicado este martes, sugiere que la IA tiene el potencial de mejorar servicios en áreas como la salud, la educación y la justicia, así como aumentar la productividad en sectores agrícolas y empresariales en economías emergentes. Sin embargo, para que esta expectativa se materialice, es crucial adoptar rápidamente la tecnología existente y adaptarla a las necesidades locales.",
