A recent report published by the OECD explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing sluggish productivity growth across its member countries. The publication provides an in-depth analysis of how AI technologies are being adopted by enterprises in G7 nations and Brazil, based on a policy-oriented survey and interviews with business representatives.
The report aims to guide policymakers, business leaders, and researchers by identifying key barriers to AI adoption and proposing actionable solutions. Among the challenges highlighted are gaps in training and education, the absence of clear qualification frameworks, and limited public-private research partnerships. The availability and use of public data also emerge as critical factors impacting AI uptake.
To address these challenges, the OECD recommends strengthening education systems with AI-specific skills training, creating better frameworks for workforce qualifications, and improving collaboration between public and private sectors. The report also calls for enhanced efforts by public institutions to support the wider diffusion of digital technologies, including AI, across industries.
Additionally, the publication underscores the importance of better policy evaluation and the need for international consistency in AI-related surveys. It also acknowledges the growing influence of generative AI in business, noting that its emergence occurred after the survey was conducted and merits further study.
Overall, the report serves as both a diagnostic and a roadmap for governments and organizations seeking to leverage AI for economic growth and innovation.
