UN Development Program's A Matter of Choice: People and Possibilities in The Age of AI
Description
The "Report 2025: A matter of choice: People and possibilities in the age of AI" by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) explores the multifaceted impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on human development. It examines how AI distinguishes itself from previous digital transformations and its potential to either enhance or diminish human agency, recognising that the outcomes are contingent on choices made in its design and deployment. The report addresses inequalities exacerbated by AI, such as gender digital divides and challenges for people with disabilities and older people, highlighting the necessity of inclusive design and policy interventions. Furthermore, it discusses AI's influence on collective intelligence, democratic processes, the labour market, and its environmental footprint, underscoring the urgent need for universal and meaningful connectivity and international collaboration to ensure AI works for all people.
