Most people in the developing world expect artificial intelligence (AI) to boost productivity over the next year, the United Nations found, with new technologies potentially helping to counter an "unprecedented slowdown” in human development.
Some 70% of the population in countries with low and medium human development scores anticipate productivity gains from AI, the UN Development Programme said in a new report. Two in three respondents envision using AI in education, health or other work, according to a survey of 21 countries representing nearly two-thirds of the world’s population, including China, India and Brazil.
