While Silicon Valley is in a race to construct on ultimate all-purpose artificial intelligence (AI), this report turns its focus to what AI means for people living in low- and middle-income countries. Usage of AI tools like ChatGPT is rapidly increasing on middle-income countries, but behind this surge, we should carefully examine what underlying effects AI might have. Advanced AI technologies are usually operated by a handful of companies, and AI functions best where strong infrastructure, developed education systems, and reliable institutions are present. Developing countries often have shortages on all these circumstances. In these contexts, how customized AI can be provided based on local context, and how the government will organize the social framework to use AI productively will have a substantial impact towards these countries.
The report suggests that developing countries should adopt, adapt, and hopefully, advance AI. With shortage on necessary human resources, AI can become a key to boost knowledge and provide skills for millions. Developing countries should be deliberate about AI technologies, critically exploring how AI can best serve enterprises, households, and governments.
