Economic research and trade policy analysis
Conclusión
El presente informe pone de relieve el impacto generalizado y transformador que está teniendo la inteligencia artificial (IA) en muchos ámbitos, entre otros, en el comercio internacional, y analiza la posible repercusión futura de la IA en él. La IA tiene el potencial de reducir los costos del comercio y aumentar la productividad, sobre todo en los sectores de servicios que se basan en procesos manuales.

Foreword by the WTO Director-General
We live in troubled times. Beyond geopolitical tensions, uncertainty in the global economy, and stalling progress on collective challenges from poverty reduction and hunger to climate change, the world is witnessing the highest level of active conflicts since the end of the Second World War.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements are due to all the data providers, mostly national administrations or WTO delegations who have made this information available including through notifications presented as a special topic. In a number of cases, data has been made available on national websites or through regional organizations. Given the vast amount of statistical data and metadata that needed to be processed, and because this information is not available in one single organization, this publication was only possible as a joint effort of the WTO, ITC, and UNCTAD. Each of the three organizations has a proven track record and comparative strengths in the field of tariff analysis.
Foreword
The WTO’s 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13), which took place earlier this year in Abu Dhabi, reaffirmed the international community’s shared commitment to promote inclusive and sustainable development through trade. Aid for Trade remains a critical element of our collective commitment to ensuring that the benefits of trade are shared more widely, particularly with developing economies and least-developed countries (LDCs).
