Digital Divide

The gap between those who have access to AI technologies, digital tools and the internet and those who do not, often correlated with socioeconomic, geographic and demographic factors.

The gap between people who have access to AI and technology and those who don't. Wealthy communities get smart assistants and personalized medicine; underserved communities may be left behind.

From an AI strategy perspective, the digital divide affects who benefits from your AI products and services. Governance frameworks should consider whether AI deployment inadvertently widens existing inequalities in access and opportunity.
