Where technology is adopted depends on which tasks can be automated and profitably so; who benefits depends on whether a worker’s skills are complements to rather than substitutes for the technology. Policies on skills, mobility, taxes, and social protection will influence whether technology drives inclusion or inequality. © 2025 The World Bank Group
