GLOBAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT IS RISING. THE GROWTH OF WORLD GDP IS DUE TO AI

We review here insights about a coming economic boom of a multi-trillion dollar expected in the next five and ten years.

The world is on the verge of an unprecedented economic expansion driven by artificial intelligence, with projections indicating a potential increase of trillions of dollars to the global gross domestic product (GDP) over the next five to ten years.

Get this: by the time you finished reading this short paper it is out of date.

Precise figures vary among leading economic analyses, but a consensus emerges that AI will be a significant driver of productivity and growth. Estimates from major financial institutions and consulting firms suggest a potential annual increase in global GDP ranging from 1% to as high as 7% in the coming decade, with a substantial portion of this growth materializing within the next five years.

A conservative synthesis of forecasts from sources like Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and PwC based on research suggests a prospective increase in the range of $2.6 to $4.4 trillion annually in the near term.  McKinsey predicts that over 66% of developed economies already have national AI strategies, compared to just 30% in developing economies and 12% in least-developed ones. AI has emerged as the defining technology of the 21st century.  According to the conclusions of PwC's “Sizing the Price” report, AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030

This figure is expected to grow as AI adoption matures. Goldman Sachs, for instance, has projected a very modest 7% increase in global GDP over a decade, which translates to a significant economic uplift in the initial five-year period.

Currently, the trend now is agentic AI, which has rapidly emerged as a major focus of interest and experimentation in business enterprises and consumer technology. Agentic AI combines the flexibility and generality of AI foundation models with the ability to act in the world by creating “virtual coworkers” that can autonomously plan and execute multistep workflows

This economic surge is not evenly distributed.   A handful of nations are poised to capture the lion's share of the economic gains. These countries are characterized by strong technology sectors, significant investment in AI research and development, and supportive government policies.


The Top 10 Nations Leading the AI-Driven Economic Transformation

Ten countries are best positioned to contribute the most to the increase in global GDP driven by artificial intelligence over the next five years. The estimate is based on their current AI investments, adoption rates, and overall economic strength. Different researchers may argue for a different ranking list. Note that Russia is missing on this top-ten list. This is likely caused by lack of reliable accurate information from this country.  The World Bank economic activity projections ignore the effects of AI R&D, (which is a highly secretive and competitive field), on national GDP and still discuss globalism, trade relations and tariffs. And… WEF.

1.    United States: As the undisputed leader in AI investment and home to the world's largest technology companies, it is projected to be the single largest contributor to AI-driven GDP growth. Its vibrant venture capital ecosystem and deep talent pool continue to fuel innovation and commercialization of AI technologies across all sectors.

2.    China: With a national strategy focused on becoming a global AI leader by 2030, China is making massive investments in AI research and implementation. China is rich with natural resources and developed a widespread education system.  Its large domestic market, military industry  and rapid technological adoption will drive significant economic expansion powered by AI.

3.    United Kingdom: The UK has established itself as a European hub for AI, boasting a strong research base and a thriving startup scene. Government support and a focus on AI in key sectors like finance and healthcare will be significant drivers of its economic growth.

4.    Germany: As a global manufacturing powerhouse, Germany is poised to leverage AI to revolutionize its industrial sector and growing military re-armament. The integration of AI into its "Industrie 4.0" strategy will enhance productivity and competitiveness.

5.    Japan: Facing demographic challenges, Japan is turning to AI and automation to boost productivity and address labor shortages. Its strengths in robotics and advanced manufacturing of automotive and electronic products provide a solid base for AI-driven growth.

6.    India: A large and growing digital economy, coupled with an enormous pool of IT talent, positions India to be a major contributor to AI-driven growth. The country will see significant AI adoption in sectors like IT services, finance, and agriculture. Note that CEOs of Google (Sundar Pichai) and Microsoft (Satya Nadella), are originally alums of India’s undergraduate education system early in their careers..

7.    Canada:  Recognized for its pioneering research in deep learning, has a strong foundation in AI. Government initiatives and a collaborative ecosystem between academia and industry are fostering innovation and economic benefits.

8.    France: With a growing number of AI startups and a government committed to fostering a strong AI ecosystem, France is emerging as a significant player in the European AI landscape.

9.    South Korea: Is a recognized global leader in technology, automotive products and innovation.  South Korea is heavily investing in AI and maintains its competitive edge in electronics, communications, automotive, and other key industries.

10. Israel: Known for its dynamic startup culture and expertise in cyber security and machine learning, Israel's "Silicon Wadi" is a hotbed of AI innovation that will contribute significantly to its economic output.

This ranking is based on a synthesis of factors including private and public AI investments, the maturity of the technology sector, and the potential for AI to be integrated into key industries. The economic impact of AI is expected to be a defining feature of the global economy in the coming years, with these ten nations at the forefront of this transformative wave.
