Key Takeaways from the “Human Development Report 2025”

The Freeman

|

June 04, 2025

Focusing on people can help many countries feeling caught in a human development pinch between skyhigh expectations for AI and sobering development realities.

Wounds from the 2020-2021 declines in the global HDI have not healed, and the rebound since may be losing steam. Just a few years ago we were on course to live in a very high HDI world by 2030. That world was delayed a few years based on the 2021-2024 trend. Now it is projected to be delayed by decades.

Advances in AI have made it capable of doing many types of non-routine tasks once firmly in the purview of humans, raising fears of replacement and massive job losses.

While there will undoubtedly be shifts in labor demand, there will always be spaces where humans shine - where humans do things that machines cannot do or are bad at, where societies value people rather than machines doing things and where people and machines go farther faster together than separately.

Recognizing this, we begin to see beyond what AI might do in the future and instead see what it can do for people now.
