The new ‘Technology and Innovation’ report by the UN Trade and Development Organization (UNCTAD) has warned of increasing discrimination in the AI sector and a roadmap has also been launched to realize the hidden possibilities.
According to the report, about 5 percent of the investment in this technology has been made for research and development, most of which are in the United States and China.
The market value of each large company like Apple, Newda and Microsoft is about 3,000 billion dollars, which is higher than the GDP of the entire African continent. This indicates that AI’s power is focusing on a few hands.
In the national and corporate level markets, this domination is expected to deepen cracks in the technology sector, which can deprive many developing countries of its advantage.
According to experts, artificial intelligence can be a strong tool of progress but it does not include naturally. In view of this, it has been requested to invest in the infrastructure digital structure and control the AI.
UNCTAD general secretary, Rebecca Greensspan, has called on the general public at the center of AI development and strong international cooperation. He said that countries have to draw their attention from technology and return to the people, so that all countries can create AI structures worldwide together.
Sharing of AI technology can prevent control discrimination.
Investment in skill is required
The report estimates that AI can affect 40 percent employment around the world. It will benefit from productivity, but will also increase the risk of eliminating automation employment. Especially in the economy, where the low -cost workers are still the cause of profit.
However, AI means not just decreasing employment – hope it will also create new initiatives and opportunities and will be able to empower workers.
According to the report, instead of completing employment through AI, investment needs to invest in new skills to improve employment opportunities, to bring skills and reforms, and to mold the staff as needed.
AI’s inclusive development
AI is giving the economic future of the world, yet the five countries have not been included in the discussion of AI’s activities. Most of them are developing countries.
The participation of developing countries is very important in the discussion of the formation of the II Neium and integrity structure, so that global progress is possible instead of protecting the interests of some.
The report states that a global AI structure can be created with strong international cooperation that prefer equality, transparency and shared facilities.
The UNCTAD report provided a roadmap to ensure inclusive growth from AI so that the existing divisions do not deepen.
Some of the main topics of the report
- Artificial intelligence, ie AI’s market is expected to reach $ 4.8 trillion – which is almost equal to the German economy. However, its benefits will be focused in several countries.
- AI may affect 40% global employment
- Developing countries have no strategies related to AI in at least one -third.
- 5 countries do not represent AI’s efforts to manage the activities.
- In the developing economy, they need to invest in AI infrastructure, data and skills building to reach their potential.
