AI 'revolution' varies by region: the map showing who is in charge and who has been left behind

Microsoft’s latest AI Diffusion Report says only 17.8% of the world’s working-age population uses AI.

Adoption is concentrated in highly digital economies such as the UAE, Singapore and several European countries.

Many regions in Africa, Central Asia and Latin America are still far behind, including countries like Venezuela and Bolivia.

The gap highlights a new global digital divide that could widen differences in productivity and competitiveness.
