Chapter 3. Complements: Customizing AI to Local Realities and Needs - World Development Report 2026 THE PROMISE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Chapter 3. Complements: Customizing AI to Local Realities and Needs AI’s potential depends not only on the context in which it will be used, but also on the context in which it has been developed. If those contexts are mismatched, AI will not work well. Realizing the full potential of AI therefore requires the right complements to be in place to adopt AI applications and to tailor them to the context in which they are deployed.
