The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has shared a compelling outlook on the economic impact of artificial intelligence (AI), projecting that its adoption will boost global GDP by approximately 0.5% annually from 2025 to 2030. This forecast suggests that the economic benefits derived from AI applications will outweigh the associated carbon emissions from the data centers essential for AI model operations. The report, released during the IMF's annual spring meeting in Washington, highlights both the transformative potential of AI and the need for careful management of its societal implications.
