dc.description.abstractGenerative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) is set to potentially transform the labor market, presenting both opportunities and challenges. Studies about its possible impacts have generally focused on high-income countries. But AI may be a crucial path to greater productivity in emerging markets - or, like other recent waves of technological change, it may widen the gap between low- and high-income workers. These effects are of particular concern to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), one of the world’s most unequal regions, and one that has struggled with a persistent productivity gap, in large part because of barriers to innovation and technology adoption. To effectively minimize the risks and leverage the benefits of Gen AI, LAC countries would need to understand their economy’s occupational exposure to technology - yet that type of assessment had never been undertaken in the region.en
