Brief
AI capabilities, compute, and skills are concentrating in a few countries and firms, amplifying preexisting gaps in connectivity, literacy, and institutional capacity. Some countries like Indonesia and South Africa are pursuing alternative approaches, but many remain primarily AI consumers rather than creators.
Why It Matters
If participation in shaping AI remains uneven, countries left out risk reduced economic opportunity and limited influence over systems that affect their societies.
