IMF and OECD warn AI could widen the gap between countries
The IMF and the OECD warn that artificial intelligence could boost global growth, but its benefits risk concentrating in the most developed countries. The IMF estimates that effective adoption would add up to 0.5 percentage points to annual global growth in the medium term, and the OECD calculates an increase of between 0.4% and 1.2% in annual productivity growth among its members. Gaps in electricity, connectivity and specialized training would hinder adoption in lower-income economies.
