AI gives lifeline to developing nations in weak growth era: World Bank

The World Bank report highlights artificial intelligence (AI) as a potential game-changer for developing countries, suggesting that rapid adoption of localized AI tools could enable these nations to achieve significant developmental progress within a decade. The report emphasizes that developing economies do not require expensive infrastructure like large data centers to benefit from AI, and instead should focus on adapting affordable technologies to address challenges in health, education, agriculture, and governance. It warns that failing to adopt AI risks leaving these countries further behind in a period of weak global growth and repeated economic shocks. The report also notes that AI could provide substantial economic gains for regions like sub-Saharan Africa, while acknowledging that job displacement concerns are less relevant for developing economies compared to wealthier nations.
