World Bank: AI Boosts Developing Economies and UAE Progresses
According to the 2026 World Bank report, artificial intelligence is believed to have the potential to boost economic growth in developing economies by increasing the projected growth rate from 4.1% to 4.9% annually, while in advanced economies, it could rise from 1.2% to 3.6%. However, the benefits largely depend on these countries' ability to adopt and extensively develop AI technologies, not just on the impact of the technology itself. The UAE shows significant progress in developing its local capabilities in AI, including the "Falcon" models, aiming to transform 50% of government sectors into self-operating AI models by 2028. Additionally, the rising investment in infrastructure—expected by major companies to exceed $750 billion in 2026—plays a crucial role in the potential to realize substantial benefits from AI reliance.
