A new report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) investigates the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in enterprises across the Group of Seven (G7) nations and Brazil, emphasizing its potential to spur productivity growth in advanced economies.
The publication delivers guidance for policymakers, business leaders, and researchers by offering evidence-based insights into how AI technologies are being introduced and applied in companies. It draws from a newly developed policy-oriented survey focusing on AI usage in enterprises, supplemented by interviews with business representatives.
Key findings from the report identify several barriers that hinder widespread AI adoption. These include gaps in skills and qualifications, the need for more comprehensive training and education programs, limited access to high-quality data, and underdeveloped frameworks for public-private collaboration in AI research. The study also stresses the importance of public institutions in facilitating AI deployment by creating supportive infrastructure and policy environments.
The report recommends actionable steps such as enhancing qualification frameworks, expanding public-private research partnerships, and improving access to public data. Furthermore, it calls for better evaluation mechanisms for AI policies, standardized international surveys to track adoption, and research into emerging areas like generative AI, which garnered significant attention after the data collection phase.
Overall, the OECD urges a coordinated and strategic approach to ensure that the potential productivity benefits of AI are realized broadly across sectors and countries.
