NOTAS: | "2023 will go down in history as the year that generative artificial intelligence – also known as “gen AI” – took the world by storm. Public perceptions oscillated between shock, awe, and skepticism. Companies began to rethink their business models amid projections of significant market growth. And countries – especially in the developing world – looked to the United Nations (UN), and to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), for guidance on how to make this transformative technology work for their benefit. At the same time, a third of humanity remains offline worldwide. As the pace of AI innovation continues unabated, we must avoid creating yet another digital divide. This requires striking a careful balance between innovation, regulation, and inclusion."." |
