Description: During recent years, corporations around the world have raced to adopt the usage of artificial intelligence (AI). Some have dedicated more resources to AI adoption than others. Regardless of the level of resource dedication, corporations are not immune from societal and governmental influence regarding AI acceptance. Societies and governments in some countries more widely accept AI than in others. In Progress and Poverty, Henry George asks why there is still so much poverty despite all of the economic growth and technological progress. To answer this question, this panel discussion will examine the extent of AI adoption in Japan, Georgia, Germany, and Ghana, who is truly benefitting from it, and what can be done to ensure that the technological progress is shared with everyone.
