Half of the respondents of the UNDP survey believe that their work can be automated. UN report: Progress in the field of human development has slowed down to a minimum in 35 years Goals in the field of sustainable development According to the new report of the UN Development Program (UNDP), progress in the field of human development has slowed down to a record low level. At the same time, the report emphasizes that artificial intelligence (AI) can become a powerful incentive for development. Despite the expectations of recovery after global crises of 2020–2021, the report indicates a weak improvement in indicators. With the exception of these crisis years, a new study is fixed by the most insignificant increase in the global index of human development (ICR) since 1990. The report of 2025 entitled “The issue of choice: people and opportunities in the era of artificial intelligence” evaluates progress in key aspects of development – healthcare, education and income level. The estimates of the indicators for 2024 indicate the stagnation of the ICR in all regions of the world. global inequality in addition to general slowdown, increasing inequality between rich and poor countries is noted. As a result of global challenges, traditional development paths become less effective, and the report calls for decisive action to prevent long -term stagnation. “For decades, we confidently went to achieve the world with a very high level of human development by 2030. But the current slowdown is an alarming signal about threats to global progress, ”said Ahim Steiner, administrator UNDP. – If the sluggish progress of 2024 becomes a “new norm”, then we can achieve the goal of 2030 only after decades, which will make our world less safe, more disunity and more vulnerable to economic and environmental shocks. ”~ 60 > 60 > 62 ~ according to the report, the gap between countries with a low and very high level The ICHR has been growing for the fourth year in a row – it has expanded the long -term trend of reducing global inequality. Especially serious difficulties are experienced by countries with the lowest indicators of the ICR, which are faced with an unstable trading situation, growing a debt crisis and industrialization without creating jobs for the population. ~ 60 > new development paths 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62“In conditions of global shocks, we must urgently look for new development paths,” Steiner emphasized. – AI rapidly penetrates into various spheres of our lives. We must take into account its potential. New opportunities appear almost daily, and although the AI is not a panacea, our solutions can again give an impulse to progress and open new horizons. ” The report contains the data of a global survey, according to which people retain realism, but with hope look at the changes that can bring. Half of respondents around the world believe that their work can be automated. At the same time, 60 percent of the respondents expect that AI will positively affect the employment sphere and create jobs that do not yet exist. ~ 60 > only 13 percent are concerned that AI will lead to loss of jobs. In countries with a low and average IChR level, 70 percent of the respondents believe that AI will increase their productivity. ~ 60 > report protrudes for a person, emphasizing its potential to radically change the development path. The results of the survey show that people around the world are already ready for such a “restart”. democratization and 60 ~/h2 >~ 60 > document distinguishes three priority directions Actions: 60 ~ ul >~ 60 > creating economy where people interact with AI, and do not compete with it; ensuring human control at all stages of the life cycle – from development to development to development implementation; Modernization of education and healthcare systems, taking into account the calls & nbsp; XXI century. 60 > process of democratization of AI has already begun, they believe in the UNDS. Every fifth respondent said that he was using AI. And in countries with a low level of the ICHR, two -thirds of the respondents expect to start using AI in education, healthcare or at work over the next year. This makes the elimination of the gap in access to electricity and the Internet especially relevant so that no one is out of new possibilities. However, one access is not enough – it is important how effectively AI can complement and improve human activity. ~ 60 > read also: report. MOT: AI will significantly change the security and labor protection system “The choice that we will make in the coming years will determine what the legacy of this technological transition for human development will be,” said Pedru Conseisan, who heads the work on preparing reports on human development. – with the right policy and orientation towards human AI, it can become a bridge to new knowledge, skills and ideas that can give everyone opportunity – from farmer to an entrepreneur. ”~ 60 >~ 60 > regional analysis ~ 60 > region, which includes eastern Europe, Russia and central and central. Asia, unites countries with a different level of income – from average to high. After 2020, the growth rate of the ICR here remains lower than in previous years, while the inequality between the countries of the region is intensified. 60 > Many of them lose specialists in the field of AI in favor of richer countries. This is due to insufficient internal stimuli and infrastructure for scientific research and innovation. The region is faced with limited availability and low representativeness of the data, as well as digital inequality, which reduces the quality and inclusiveness of II systems. This is especially acutely felt in countries that are not part of global AI hubs. 60 > report also states that, despite the high level of education of women in many countries of the region, they are still poorly represented in the leadership of technological companies. So, cultural barriers and loading loads limit women in a digital economy.
