(Finance) – On artificial intelligence “the good news is that the potential it has to strengthen global growth is significant: by approximately 0.8 percentage points. The second part of our research, however, shows that there are many degrees of preparedness and exposure among economies.” director of the International Monetary Fund, Kritalina Georgieva during one of the discussion sessions at the World Economic Forum, in Davos.
In advanced economies 60% of jobs are exposed to AIboth positively, in the sense that they can gain an increase in productivity, and negatively, in the sense that they could disappear. This share drops to 40% in emerging markets and 6% in low-income countries. The third element of our study – he concluded – is that when we look at the opportunities to translate this potential into growth, there is a very significant gap between advanced economies and low-income economies. And we want to close this gap.”
