OECD – Fostering AI Adoption Across Firms to Achieve Broad Productivity Gains, Nov 2024

The OECD's policy brief, "Fostering AI Adoption Across Firms to Achieve Broad Productivity Gains," examines the uneven adoption of artificial intelligence among firms and its implications for productivity. The brief highlights that while AI adoption can significantly boost firm productivity, top-performing companies show nearly double the adoption rates compared to the least productive firms. It emphasizes the need for policies that promote inclusive digital transformation, focusing on enhancing digital skills, facilitating access to AI technologies, and fostering innovation across all firm sizes and sectors. The document also discusses the importance of critical thinking skills in effectively implementing AI while upholding human rights and democratic values.
