A new report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) assesses how artificial intelligence (AI) is being integrated into businesses, with a focus on countries in the Group of Seven (G7) and Brazil. The report aims to support policymakers, business leaders, and researchers in enabling effective adoption of AI to help address slow productivity growth among OECD economies.
The core findings are based on a newly conducted policy-oriented survey of enterprise-level AI use, supplemented by interviews with business representatives. The research highlights common challenges that firms face when adopting AI technologies, such as skills gaps, outdated qualification frameworks, and limited access to relevant data.
To overcome these obstacles, the report recommends several policy interventions. These include increasing investment in education and training, fostering public-private research collaborations, and improving access to public sector data. It also emphasizes the importance of institutions that support digital technology diffusion at a national level.
The report further advocates for improved methods of evaluating public policies related to AI, the development of more internationally consistent AI surveys, and additional research on generative AI—an area of growing interest that was not fully captured in the current survey.
Overall, the study provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and offers guidance for fostering a more inclusive and effective adoption of AI technologies within the business sector.
