Projected AI adoption rates by country group, stratified by global inequality-adjusted human development index (IHDI), 2024-2050.
Projected AI adoption rates (2024-2050) across five country groups stratified by inequality-adjusted human development index (IHDI). Group A includes the top 20% of countries by human development, while Groups B-E represent progressively lower levels. Adoption follows logistic growth, with faster uptake in higher-IHDI countries.
