The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) technology worldwide has led to the possibility of new opportunities as well as increasing discrimination. The United Nations Trade and Development Agency (UNCTAD) reported in a report that the AI's market will stand at $ 9.5 trillion by 20, which is equivalent to Germany's current economy. However, AI's revolution will affect 5 percent of the world's jobs.
According to the UN report, the global AI market can reach $ 9.5 trillion by 20, which is equivalent to Germany's economy.
The United Nations Trade and Development Organization (UNCTAD) has warned that although AI is transforming the economy and creating huge opportunities. However, it can further enhance the existing discrimination. According to the report, AI will increase productivity and automatically automatically and replace various job sectors. This will affect 5 percent of the world's jobs.
UNCTAD also said that although the previous technology revolutions mainly influenced the lower level jobs, the knowledge -based sectors would now be the most dangerous because of AI. That is, the advanced economies will be the most affected. But at the same time, these countries are well prepared to exploit the benefits of AI.
Automatically completing the work through AI works for capital instead of cheap labor, which can help increase discrimination. Since there is cheap labor in developing countries, competitive facilities (ie opportunities to work at low prices) can be reduced. Because big companies can now work instead of cheap labor using technology or robots.
UNCTAD chief Rebecca Greensspan said in a statement that it is very important to keep humanity in the field of AI technology. He emphasized on international cooperation, saying countries should work together to keep up the main attention on people and create a global AI structure instead of technology.
According to the report, the technology such as the Internet, Blockchain, 3G, 3D printing and AI in 2021 had a market of $ 2.7 trillion, which would reach $ 6.75 trillion in the next decade.
AI will be the main technology of this sector in the next decade. By 20, the value of $ 9.5 trillion will be.
However, UNCTAD has warned that AI infrastructure and experts' access are limited to certain countries. Currently 5 big technology companies are originally located in the United States and China. These companies are spending 5 percent of the worldwide corporate research and development.
The company has said the countries still have to start work. By establishing investment in digital infrastructure, creating capacity and establishing AI rule, they can work for sustainable development of AI.
AI will not only replace jobs, it can create new industries and empower staff. Investment is very important for skill achievement and adaptation of labor force, so that AI increases employment opportunities instead of eliminating jobs.
The UN agency also said that the AI is building the economic future of the world. However, there are no participation in the developing countries in AI policies, restrictions, law -making discussions.
The company has warned that developing countries must participate in the discussion of AI control and moral structure, so that AI works in favor of global progress, not just for some countries.
