Ce spune numărul 2 din BNR despre implementarea AI în economiile emergente - Opinie Leonardo Badea, prim-viceguvernator al Băncii Naţionale a României - Economica.net

Leonardo Badea, the first deputy governor of the National Bank of Romania, emphasizes that emerging economies must adopt technology and AI to avoid the middle-income trap. He describes a shift towards a binary economy where value increasingly derives from information and technology rather than physical labor. Competitive advantages based on low labor costs are fragile, and advanced economies focus on high-margin segments of global value chains. AI development can enhance productivity and requires investments in research and education for sustainable growth. Badea distinguishes between extractive, sustainable, and generative economic growth, highlighting the importance of creating conditions for future prosperity. He notes that the impact of AI on the labor market is complex, with potential effects on wages depending on the pace of automation.
