Human development refers to strengthening the independence of ordinary citizens, their power, rights and their welfare. Over the past few decades, UN experts believed that the human development indicators were moving towards improved manner.
UN researchers assumed that high level human development would be achieved by the people worldwide by 20 years.
However, in recent years, due to other huge crises, including the Covid -19 epidemics, these expectations have been destroyed and progress in all areas of the world seems to be blocked.
The ‘Human Development Report’, published on Tuesday, is an annual research of the UN Development Program, which shows that discrimination between the rich and the poor has deepened in the fourth year.
Increasing trade pressure, the LOAN O crisis, which is worse and bad and is taking this national pressure, the capacity of the countries of the countries is being damaged. It is difficult for them to invest in healthcare, education and other fields, including the intention of using the population.
Because of this, the traditional tidal routes that are leading their development are becoming narrow.
The UN Development Program Administrator Achim Stein said that this decline is a real threat to global progress.
“If the lazy progress of 2021, a new common situation is created, the 20 stops, for decades, this can be lost, this will make our world less protected, further divided and become more sensitive by economics and ecology.”

Despite this disappointing index, the report expects for the possibilities included in artificial intelligence (AI). Studies have shown that businesses and ordinary people are taking free and low expensive AI measures.
Researchers in the UN Development Program conducted a survey to know the opinion of AI, according to which the participants of the participants believe that this technology would have a positive impact on their activities. Also, new opportunities will be created for them.
It was more visible towards the low-cost and medium level of development.
Percent 5 percent of the people who have participated in the survey say that AI expected their productivity to increase, when the participants want to use AI in the next one year, within the next one year, in the next one year.
UN experts have also issued many recommendations for the intention of adopting AI technology in human development, of which the following are important:
- Modernization of education and health system to address existing requirements
- Instead of competing between AI and humans, transforming the centralized economy on mutual cooperation
- Deployed from the texture, the test of human needs in every field of AI technology development
The Human Development Report Office Director Pedro Conscio in the UN Development Program said that AI could prove to be an important bridge to move towards new knowledge, skills and ideas, keeping the right policy and ordinary people in mind. This will help everyone from farmers to small entrepreneurs.

Emphasis on global cooperation
The report of the report is not that the effect of AI will not be stopped or replaced. Instead of having an autonomous force within itself, it depends on those societies, values and discrimination that turns it into.
According to the United Nations Development Program, global cooperation in AI’s activities needs to be strengthened, to avoid the disappointment related to development.
At the same time, private innovations and public goals should be united and a solution to human dignity, equality and stability should be taken from newly.
Achim Steiner writes in this study presentation that the report of 2021 is not just about technology. It is about our skills to define yourself in the age of people and in the age of deep change.

Regional diversity
In different regions of the world, the use of AI related to current challenges, discrimination.
In South Asia, there are challenges in human development, unequal and education, connection and the progress of AI technology. There is a strong digital structure in India and efforts are also made to save talent, while the AI is being used in the target system for social programs in Bangladesh.
East Asia is a great force in the world of AI worldwide. China is playing an important role in AI research, robotics and data ecosystem. However, the lack of investment in AI protection is anxiety and lack of regulatory systems throughout this region and there is no suitable system to save talent.
Africa, especially sub-Sahara Africa, has a huge infrastructure development challenge. AI can improve education, health, agriculture, but there are severe deficiencies in infrastructure, the Internet and computers and there are major obstacles.
Europe and Central Asia have to face growing political polarization and elderly population. In this region, AI is seen as complementary instead of complementary energy.
