Others, with stronger preexisting infrastructure,will be positioned to develop and scale AI domestically andthrough international trade. There is no single pathway.This handbook offers a framework to help navigate thiscomplexity, building on two proposed lenses. The EcosystemLens maps the necessary components to develop a thrivingAI ecosystem, including hard and soft infrastructure, AIbuilding blocks such as foundational models, and verticalapplications across sectors. The Structural Elements Lenscompliments this by articulating broader enablers, suchas energy and data, that sustain the ecosystem over time.Together, they give stakeholders a practical basis for diag-nosing where a given market stands and where interventioncan create the necessary circumstances for growth. The rapid advance of artificial intelligence (AI) presentsemerging markets with a generational opportunity andposes serious development risks if countries are left behind.For countries that can build the right conditions, AI offers achance to accelerate development, improve business pro
