Using AI as an engine for growth is the only path for global prosperity, for all. [...] We must commit to providing access to the technology and the talent for small and medium-sized enterprises. [SMEs represent] 50 per cent of the world's GDP, and in the global South, it's 70 per cent of employment. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Quote attributed to Julie Sweet (Chair & CEO of Accenture), from her keynote at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The source_url (aninews.in) returned HTTP 403 to direct WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the content across many outlets (Deccan Chronicle, Tribune, Lokmat, etc.): Sweet framed AI as an engine for global prosperity for all, stressed providing SMEs access to technology and talent, and cited SMEs as ~50% of world GDP and 70% of employment in the Global South. Attribution correct, year 2026, relevant. Vote "for" on statement 442 ("economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth") aligns: the quote explicitly advocates AI-driven prosperity "for all" and broad/inclusive access, especially in the Global South. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 17d ago
