A new report from the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with KPMG, highlights the immense potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape economies and societies. However, the report emphasizes that ensuring the benefits of AI are shared fairly across the globe is a significant challenge. Titled ‘Blueprint for Intelligent Economies,’ the report presents nine strategic objectives designed to guide the development, innovation, and adoption of AI, aimed at creating more inclusive, resilient AI ecosystems at national, regional, and global levels.

The report addresses critical disparities in AI access, infrastructure, advanced computing, and skills, proposing actionable strategies to overcome these challenges. Key recommendations include building sustainable AI infrastructure, ensuring diverse and high-quality data for AI models, and establishing robust ethical frameworks to foster trust and reduce risks such as misuse and bias.

It also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors to accelerate the responsible adoption of AI globally. By focusing on ethical guardrails, data diversity, and equitable infrastructure, the report offers a roadmap for unlocking AI’s full potential while ensuring that its benefits are shared fairly across societies.
