aceThe Global AI Divide: Infrastructure, Access and Policy Pathways for Democratising Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more accessible via cloud platforms and generative AI tools. However, the skills needed to develop, manage, and regulate advanced AI are still concentrated in a few countries and major tech companies. This study introduces the emerging Global AI Divide, defined as a capability gap driven by unequal access to compute power, advanced semiconductors, data, capital, energy, models, and specialised human expertise. Through qualitative policy analysis and comparative case studi…
Skills and resources to develop, manage and regulate advanced AI remain concentrated in a few countries and major tech companies, so wider use of AI tools does not amount to real democratisation.
The abstract describes a qualitative policy analysis and a proposed framework, and it frames the access-versus-safety tension as an unresolved policy paradox rather than a settled outcome.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1573 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
