Abstract

Drawing on the experiences and lessons learned from researchers based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that leverage generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies to address socio-economic challenges, we showcase the considerable potential to use GenAI to accelerate the progress towards achieving some of the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as considerable obstacles for creating locally adapted AI tools for fair development in LMICs. An expanded evidence base on GenAI in resource-limited settings is crucial for policymakers to understand opportunities and risks, while rights-based safeguards against AI harms can be strengthened by the lived experiences of local projects.

绘制使用生成式人工智能技术应对中低收入国家社会经济挑战的潜力和局限性。
根据中低收入国家(LMICs)利用生成式人工智能(GenAI)技术应对社会经济挑战的研究人员的经验和教训,我们展示了利用GenAI加速实现一些可持续发展目标的巨大潜力,以及在创建适合当地的人工智能工具以促进中低收入国家公平发展方面的巨大障碍。在资源有限的情况下,扩大GenAI的证据基础对于政策制定者了解机遇和风险至关重要,而基于权利的防范人工智能危害的保障措施可以通过当地项目的实际经验得到加强。
