Investing in AI for an Inclusive Digital Future

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming economies, industries and societies, creating unprecedented opportunities for productivity, innovation, and sustainable development. Realizing these benefits, however, will require investment not only in technology, but also in digital infrastructure, skills, enabling environment, technical standards, and international cooperation. This session will examine how countries can harness AI as a driver of inclusive growth while ensuring that investment in digital transformation narrows rather than widens development gaps and strengthens global competitiveness in an increasingly interconnected world.
