cnbc.com —
A United Nations agency, UNCTAD, reported Thursday that artificial intelligence could affect 40% of jobs globally. The agency highlighted concerns about job displacement due to automation. The report also pointed out AI's potential to worsen inequality between nations. A small number of firms in the U.S. and China dominate AI research and development spending. UNCTAD recommends international cooperation to ensure AI benefits all countries. This includes shared infrastructure and knowledge to drive inclusive growth in developing nations.
