IMF: AI Boosts Global Growth
The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, stated that strong investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure contribute to maintaining global economic growth at around 3 percent, with particular benefits for Asian economies such as Thailand, which export components and devices for this technology. She explained that the investment boom in artificial intelligence constitutes a "demand shock and an investment shock" that boost growth in developed countries by between 0.5 and 1 percentage point, and in emerging countries by between 0.2 and 0.8 percentage points, despite pressures resulting from energy supply shocks. These remarks were made during the IMF meetings in Bangkok, where she warned of risks related to debt, wars, and the technology boom.
