Closing Digital Literacy Gap Could Unlock Trillions of Dollars in Global GDP Growth

New report, authored by GSMA Intelligence in partnership with Huawei, released at UNESCO’s Digital Learning Week

   
     Digital literacy – not coverage – is the main barrier keeping 3.1 billion people offline.   
   
     AI could potentially widen the digital literacy gap.   
   
     Bridging the usage gap could boost global GDP by $3.5 trillion from 2023 to      2030.   
   
     Citing Huawei's Skills on Wheels initiative, the report urges policymakers, telcos, and tech vendors to treat AI literacy as critical infrastructure.   
  PARIS, FRANCE –  Media OutReach Newswire – 10 September 2026 – More than one in three (38%) people remains offline despite being covered by mobile broadband – and a lack of digital literacy skills is often to blame, according to new research published today. 
       
 The new report,  "Bridging the Divide: Enhancing Digital Literacy in the AI Era," authored by GSMA Intelligence and produced in collaboration with Huawei, identifies a digital divide impacting 3.1 billion people caused by a shortage of digital skills, user trust and AI literacy. 
  AI raises both access and risk 
  Existing industry projections suggest closing the capability gap could add around $3.5 trillion to global GDP by 2030, with more than 90% of those gains flowing to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Physical mobile broadband coverage currently reaches 96% of people worldwide. 
  The report, unveiled at UNESCO's Digital Learning Week, suggests artificial intelligence could act as both a bridge and a barrier for underserved communities. AI-powered voice assistants and applications that work with images, audio and video can all help low-literacy users bypass the need to input text. At the same time, they raise the security and critical-thinking standards required to participate safely. However, the study warns that users must now be able to understand data privacy and identify risks such as fraud and deepfakes. 
  The research cites World Bank statistics that GenAI literacy represents the highest-value skill category, with wage premiums up to 36%, far exceeding returns for both digital and traditional AI skills. 
  Without targeted interventions in basic digital training, the authors warn, rapid AI adoption risks entrenching existing inequalities even in areas with full network coverage. 
  Mobile classrooms build skills in remote areas 
  Digital inclusion initiatives typically target those most at risk of digital exclusion, including rural and remote communities, children and teachers in rural schools, older people, and women and girls. 
  The report emphasizes the need for community-based delivery models, citing Huawei's Skills on Wheels initiative as a field-tested example — particularly its solar-powered DigiTruck mobile classrooms, which bring hardware, rural connectivity and hands-on training, including AI literacy, to off-grid regions. 
  Since 2019, training courses delivered by Skills on Wheels projects have reached more than 130,000 people across 21 countries, with more people benefiting indirectly. DigiTruck trainers encourage trainees to share their new skills, which is shown to occur in practice.  A report on DigiTruck by Kenya's Ministry of Information, Communications and Digital Economy shows that 79% of DigiTruck trainees surveyed had passed on their newly acquired digital skills to family members and peers. 
  Policymakers urged to treat AI literacy as core infrastructure 
  To bridge the usage gap, the report urges policymakers, telecom operators and technology vendors to work together and focus on four priorities： 
    
     Treating practical AI awareness, online safety and information verification as a baseline national qualification.   
   
     Adopting multilingual voice and conversational interfaces across public services to minimise user-side technical hurdles.   
   
     Scaling up mobile learning units through cross-sector partnerships that combine operator connectivity, vendor technology and local NGO networks.   
   
     Measuring performance by independent task completion and fraud resilience rather than trainee numbers.   
  "Digital literacy can no longer be defined by static thresholds," said Tim Hatt, head of research and consultancy at GSMA Intelligence. "Connectivity alone is insufficient — capabilities, system design and trust must evolve together. To capture this multi-trillion-dollar opportunity, stakeholders must integrate layered AI literacy directly into daily livelihoods through trusted community channels." 
  "Mobile classrooms have demonstrated immense value in helping underserved populations break through physical and psychological barriers to technology," said Gavin Allen, Executive Editor-in-Chief at Huawei. "We will continue working alongside local governments and industry partners to drive digital literacy, ensuring that no one is left behind as we transition into the AI economy." 
  A new DigiTruck program will launch in France this autumn, covering several cities in the Île-de-France region and targeting low-income and underserved communities with digital skills training.

  FAQ 
  Q1: What is the main purpose of this report?   
  A: The report analyzes the critical importance of enhancing digital skills in the AI era, highlighting digital literacy as a layered and evolving capability. It calls on all stakeholders to collaborate in accelerating global digital inclusion and skill development. 
  Q2: What does it mean for policymakers to treat "AI literacy as core infrastructure"? 
 A: It means shifting policy focus from just building physical base stations to funding human capabilities. The report urges governments to integrate baseline AI awareness, online security, and media verification into national qualification frameworks, treating digital skills as an essential public utility alongside electricity and broadband.
