AI could widen the digital divide – unless we act
(March 2026) MWC in Barcelona conjures up visions of an AI-powered future. From intelligent networks to the digital transformation of industry, the promise of artificial intelligence is everywhere.
But amid the excitement, a larger question emerges: who benefits from the AI revolution, and who is in danger of being left behind?
That’s the focus of Delia Fischer, Chief Communications Officer at IMD Business School.
Speaking at Huawei’s TECH Cares sustainability forum, Fischer highlighted a growing concern: that without deliberate action, AI could actually widen the digital divide.
In a Transform Talks interview with Huawei's Executive Editor-in-Chief Gavin Allen, Fischer argues that the issue isn’t just access to technology and how to use it, but whether education systems are equipping people with the skills to shape it.
