AI's Impact on Driving Emerging Market Economies  
Boosting Agricultural Growth in Developing Economies  
AI-driven agriculture technologies are transforming productivity in regions like Africa and Southeast Asia. Precision agriculture and AI-based crop monitoring are projected to increase crop yields by up to 30%, according to a report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Resource scarcity can be decreased while food security is also increased to help underserved populations and their economies.  
 
Healthcare Improvements in Emerging Markets   
AI reduces barriers for developing countries to overcome resource constraints and gain momentum for achieving economic growth. AI-driven healthcare applications, for instance, help diagnose and treat diseases in rural areas, improving public health and productivity. Residents in emerging nations can have greater accessibility and quality of care using AI-driven healthcare applications like telemedicine and diagnostic algorithms. In India, diagnostics costs are predicted to be reduced by 40% with AI-powered diagnostic tools, strengthening workforce productivity. 
A report by Accenture estimates that AI in healthcare could create over $150 billion in annual savings for the U.S. by 2026 and generate roles focused on AI-powered diagnostics, digital health management, and personalized treatment planning.  
 
AI Job Creation and Upskilling  
AI can open up millions of jobs globally, with emerging economies like Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa poised to benefit. The World Economic Forum estimates that a 15% increase in high-skill job roles is viable when AI is adopted, especially in tech and data-related fields. The rise of roles such as data analysts, machine learning engineers, and AI technicians contributes to a skilled workforce and supports economic development globally. 
 
Bridging Economic Disparities  
Emerging markets are increasingly adopting AI technologies, with countries like China, India, and Brazil investing heavily in AI research, education, and industry applications. Emerging markets like China and India are expected to realize the most significant percentage gains, capturing up to 45% of this economic impact. In China alone, the AI sector is set to boost its GDP by 26% by 2030, primarily driven by AI adoption in manufacturing, retail, and public sectors.   
 
Accelerating Digital Transformation  
Emerging markets can use digital transformation to adopt digital infrastructures previously unavailable to them. These markets have seen significant investment in AI and digital transformation initiatives. China and India are among the top five global economies regarding AI research investment. China alone plans to invest $150 billion in AI by 2030. This digitalization boosts regional economies and supports integration into the global economy.  

The Role of AI in Increasing Global Employment
