A new report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) sheds light on the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in businesses across the G7 countries and Brazil. The study aims to support policymakers, business leaders, and researchers in understanding how AI can contribute to reversing the trend of slow productivity growth in advanced economies.
Based on the findings of a policy-oriented survey and interviews with business representatives, the report identifies key barriers to AI adoption, including gaps in education and training, insufficient qualification frameworks, and limited access to relevant data. It proposes solutions such as expanding public-private research partnerships and enhancing public data availability.
The report also evaluates the efforts of public institutions in promoting the spread of digital technologies, including AI. It emphasizes the importance of effective policy evaluation and calls for improved international comparability in AI-related surveys.
Although the study predates the widespread use of generative AI in businesses, it acknowledges the need for further research into this rapidly emerging area.
Overall, the OECD study offers a timely and detailed assessment of AI’s potential to drive innovation and productivity, along with tangible recommendations for enabling broader and more effective implementation across sectors.
