2025夏季达沃斯热议AI机遇！IMF副总裁李波：AI可助发展中国家“弯道超车”，但还需考虑基础设施、技术积累等因素

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the discussion is that artificial intelligence (AI) may provide developing countries with an opportunity to "leapfrog" over developed nations in economic development due to their lack of historical burdens and faster adoption of new technologies [1][2][4] - IMF Vice President Li Bo highlighted that the adoption of new technologies, such as digital payments, has been significantly faster in developing regions like China and Africa compared to developed economies like the United States, which face path dependency issues [2][4] - Li emphasized that developing countries may have a relative advantage in AI development as they can start directly with AI without needing to transition from outdated systems, unlike developed countries that must navigate existing ecosystems [2][4] Group 2 - In the context of financial systems, Li pointed out that pension funds are crucial for diversifying financial systems and supporting innovation and startups, as traditional bank financing has limitations [6] - He noted that pension reform is essential for capital market development, as it can provide long-term investment capital that supports the growth of capital markets [6] - The diversification of financial systems should also include a variety of savings tools for residents, moving beyond traditional bank deposits and real estate investments to include pensions as a new savings avenue [6]
