Connecting the Future: How Connectivity and AI Unlock New Potential
4 Conclusion
Unlocking AI’s full potential requires a strong foundation of digital connectivity. AI and connec-
tivity are deeply interdependent – each shaping and strengthening the other. To fully realize AI’s
transformative promise, global efforts must prioritize the expansion of digital infrastructure and the
bridging of persistent connectivity divides. In parallel, AI enhances connectivity through advanced
network management, energy-efficient operations, and proactive security frameworks.
By investing in resilient infrastructure and leveraging AI to optimize networks, multi-stakeholder
approaches can build systems that are more efficient and increase access to essential digital tools.
The risks of a growing digital divide are significant, but there are also opportunities for growth
if policymakers, civil society, the private sector, and multilateral institutions collaborate to drive
progress.
