While some nations are at the forefront of implementing these technologies, others lag behind, missing out on potential benefits in terms of productivity and economic growth. ## Initiatives to bridge the gap To address this challenge, the report proposes a series of new initiatives aimed at helping countries fully exploit the potential of AI. These initiatives aim to: * Promote awareness and understanding of AI. * Develop skills and talent in the field of AI. * Create a regulatory environment conducive to innovation. * Encourage collaboration between governments, businesses and academic institutions. The ultimate goal is to enable all nations to benefit from the advantages offered by AI, improving productivity, stimulating economic growth and creating new job opportunities.
