Ministers Seek Common Ground On AI’s Future In The Asia-PacificMinisters responsible for telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs) and digital policy are seeking closer cooperation on digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) as economies work to harness new opportunities while managing rapid technological change. The discussions come as AI rapidly reshapes economic activity across the Asia-Pacific and beyond, creating new opportunities for innovation, productivity and growth. Ministers are examining how digital technologies and AI can strengthen economic growth while ensuring the benefits of innovation are shared more broadly across the Asia-Pacific. “I believe that, with our joint efforts, this year’s APEC cooperation on digital and AI will build new momentum for the sustained development and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific.” The discussions will continue as part of the APEC Digital Weeks, bringing together ministers, government officials and industry leaders to explore how digital technologies and AI can accelerate economic growth and improve people’s well-being.
