IMF, OECD Warn AI Could Widen Global Rich-Poor Divide, Impact Pakistan Jobs

Artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to boost global growth by up to 0.5% annually, but the IMF and OECD warn it could exacerbate inequality between rich and poor nations, as well as within countries. Poorer economies, smaller firms, and younger workers risk missing out without improved access to power, digital infrastructure, and skills. The World Bank specifically highlights AI's potential to reshape Pakistan's labour market, particularly in the service sector. While this long-term trend could influence economic stability, its immediate impact on Pakistan's gold and currency markets is likely limited.
