"AI is throwing a mirror back at us." – James Manyika

For James Manyika, artificial intelligence is not just a technological tool, but a driver of societal transformation. From flood prediction in South Asia to the expansion of Google Translate to 276 languages, he sees AI as offering concrete solutions to current challenges. However, access remains unequal, particularly in the Global South, where basic infrastructure is lacking. He emphasizes that inclusion requires collective efforts and enlightened policies to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably. This technological advancement invites us to rethink our priorities and ensure that no one is left behind.

Through this vision, he calls for interdisciplinary collaboration, involving philosophers, policymakers, and ethicists, to ensure the ethical and responsible development of AI. For Manyika, the goal is clear: to build a future where AI becomes a catalyst for progress for all of humanity, promoting shared and sustainable prosperity.
