2024年4月AI冲刺者：把握新兴市场人工智能的经济机遇——数字冲刺者报告

Capturing the economic opportunityof AI in emerging markets A Digital Sprinters report Executive summary Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significant potential todrive economic growth and unleash new forms ofeconomic opportunity in emerging markets. 71% of those surveyed in emerging marketssaid that AI already has apositive impacton access to information, health,education and work Through its capacity to assist, complement, empower, and inspire, AIoffers new ways to address some of the world’s most pressing economicchallenges andpresentsa once-in-a-generation opportunity to improvethe ways people live, work, and learn across all sectors and in allcountries. While some analysts anticipate that emerging markets will adopt AImore slowly and benefit from it less over the next decade than wealthiercountries, there are good reasons to believe these markets can exceedthese expectations if they have the right enablers in place. This potentialis reflected inrecent surveysthat show that populations in emergingmarkets are more optimistic about AI’s economic impact than thosein Europe or the United States (US): over 71% of those surveyed inemerging markets said that AI already has apositive impacton access toinformation, health, education and work (compared with less than 56% inEurope and less than 51% in the US). Our report demonstrates AI’s transformative potential within emergingmarkets. Through examining nine diverse stakeholder groups, fromfarmers to digital startups, we provide real-life case studies that illu-minate how AI can drive progress. Our findings suggest that emergingmarkets can realize significant benefits from strategically adopting AItechnologies across various sectors. From Digital Sprinters to AI Sprinters TheDigital Sprinters reportpublished by Google in 2020 establisheda framework for policymakers to harness the economic potential ofdigital technologies. That framework is even more relevant today ascountries seek to participate in the AI transformation. Becoming anAISprinter— a country that harnesses AI to accelerate economic devel-opment — requires both widespread AI adoption and adaptation tolocal needs. A robust digital foundation is crucial, and the fourDigitalSprinterspillars offer a roadmap for building it: •Infrastructure:Investing in high-speed, reliable digital connectivity and secure, environmentally sustainable data centers which together form thebackbone of AI development and deployment. Preparing people across all communities for the AI-driveneconomy through education and skills development. •Technological innovation:Promoting the research, development, and adoption of AI technologies to address local challenges. •Enabling policies:Advancing policies that foster a thriving AI ecosystem to help AI researchers and innovators convert ideas and data into newdiscoveries, products, and services. Four game changers could accelerate AI integration in emergingmarkets:Each of these pillars entails a broad range of public-private actions, but this report focuses on four game changing ideas: Technological innovation:Modernizing national data systems for the AI era. Infrastructure:100% Adoption of cloud-first policies. High-quality datasets are essential for training effec-tive AI models that minimize bias and can be tailoredto meet specific needs. Despite the explosive growthof data, many countries lack the policies, institutions,and frameworks needed to unlock its full potential.To realize the benefits of AI, governments shouldprioritize initiatives that encourage data sharingacross agencies, embrace open data principles, facil-itate trusted cross-border data flows, and invest in arobust data infrastructure. Cloud computing is the gateway through whichbusinesses and governments can harness the powerof AI. It also provides a host of benefits for compa-nies seeking to compete in the global economy bydemocratizing access to cutting-edge technologies.In addition to boosting government efficiency andimproving service delivery, “Cloud First” initiativesthat prioritize the adoption of cloud solutions overtraditional IT systems can catalyze private sectoruse of AI tools on the cloud by providing a signal todomestic firms. Enabling policies:Promoting innovation & deployment through People:National AI skill initiatives. enabling regulation. Policymakers must focus not only on the harms theywant to avoid, but on the potential they want toachieve. Four universal policies that policymakers canpursue to ensure AI is widely and inclusively deployedare (1) ensure that regulators are taking a risk-basedand proportional approach to regulation of AI prod-ucts and services; (2) maintain privacy and copyrightframeworks that enable use of publicly availableinformation while respecting legitimate rights; (3)support and contribute to the development of inter-national technical standards for AI, and and promoterecognition of these standards by industry andregulators; and (4) adopt and impleme
