IMF Managing Director Warns Artificial Intelligence Could Widen Development Gap: International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on the 16th that artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve productivity, but it could also widen disparities within and between countries. She called on countries to strengthen policy responses and better utilize AI. The IMF and World Bank's annual fall meetings were held in Washington, D.C., this week. At a press conference on the 16th, Georgieva said the AI investment boom has brought "optimism," and that global economic growth, currently at around 3%, would be crucial globally if AI development could boost growth.
