The artificial intelligence market reaches $ 1.5 trillion by year 1

In its latest report, the United Nations Trade and Development Organization (UNTAD) has spoken of a future in which artificial intelligence becomes the dominant technology of the world. According to the report, the global market value of artificial intelligence will rise from $ 5 billion a year, with a stunning growth, up to $ 1.5 trillion by year 2; That is, 5 times increase in a decade.

According to Anktad, the share of artificial intelligence from the advanced technology market will reach 2 % to 5 % and will take the first place among emerging technologies.

The global gap is being deepened

While the rate of growth of artificial intelligence is staggering, its focus on developing a few large and few international companies can lead to an increase in the global digital gap. Countries such as the US and China are making the most of this technological revolution due to the more skilled manpower and more advanced technological infrastructure.

In year 2, only 5 companies, mainly from the US and China, were responsible for 5 % of all research and development investments in the field of artificial intelligence. Also, the two countries own 5 % of the global patents of artificial intelligence and have published one -third of all scientific articles in the field.

Artificial Intelligence at work: threat or opportunity?

Artificial intelligence has already transformed numerous industries; From content production and product design to automatic coding and customer service; According to Anktad, 5 % of global jobs may be affected by the technology. In developed countries, up to one -third of jobs are exposed to automation. However, these countries have the greater capacity to exploit the benefits of artificial intelligence. According to reports, 5 % of jobs in these countries are capable of upgrading through artificial intelligence, so that they can increase productivity and complete human skills.

The backwardness of developing countries in the formulation of national strategy

In today’s world, the national strategy for developing artificial intelligence has become one of the main requirements of growth. However, developing countries are still far from advanced countries. By year 2, two -thirds of developed countries had national artificial intelligence strategy, while this figure was only 2 % among developing countries (except for low -key countries). Among the low -key countries, only 5 % of such strategies had such strategies.

Anktad emphasizes that national policy should focus on three key axes; Infrastructure, data and skill:

• Promotion of infrastructure for equal access to electricity, internet and processing power
• Promoting the Data Culture to promote effective cooperation and access
• General education in the field of artificial intelligence through integration of STEM and AI concepts at different levels of education from school to lifelong learning.

Worldwide sovereignty; The condition of fair exploitation of artificial intelligence

Although artificial intelligence does not know the border, its sovereignty is still unbalanced and limited to a few wealthy countries. Only G7 member states are active in all institutions and frameworks of global artificial intelligence, while the two countries are mainly developing in any of these communities.

The Anktad warns that the absence of developing countries from the process of global artificial intelligence is worrying. The organization, while emphasizing the importance of national regulations, has called for comprehensive international cooperation with the participation of multidisciplinary actors for human -centered development and in line with the global goals of sustainable development.

The domination of technology companies over the global perspective

The view of today’s artificial intelligence is, in practice, by technology giants. Companies such as Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft each have a value of $ 5 trillion, a figure that equals the GDP of Africa.

The Anktad Year 6 report, in the end, emphasizes the need to strengthen international cooperation to advance comprehensive progress and prevent inequality from deepening.
