It brought investment, revitalised cities, created jobs, projected Portugal internationally and helped transform entire sectors of the economy. But there is a less discussed reality: despite all its importance, tourism has never been able to solve one of the country’s biggest structural challenges, productivity. Portugal continues to be an economy that produces less value per worker than many of the economies with which it competes, and as long as this does not change, wages will hardly keep up with the ambitions of a modern and competitive country. This is precisely where artificial intelligence can represent a historic change.<\/p>\n

For the first time in decades, Portugal is facing an opportunity that does not depend on its geographical size, its internal market or its peripheral location. Artificial intelligence is creating a new economy in which the main resource is no longer physical proximity to markets, but the ability to generate knowledge, develop technology and operate advanced digital infrastructures. And, surprisingly for some, Portugal meets several of the conditions necessary to benefit from this transformation: universities capable of training highly qualified talent, increasingly international technology companies, recognised research centres, a growing energy capacity based on renewable sources and clear signs of attracting investment in data centres, advanced computing and digital infrastructures.<\/p>\n

The most interesting thing is that artificial intelligence is not only creating a new economic sector, but is also transforming all existing sectors. Agriculture uses AI to optimise production, healthcare to improve diagnostics, industry to increase efficiency, energy to manage complex networks, real estate to analyse markets, banking to reduce risk, and logistics to optimise operations. This means that artificial intelligence can increase the productivity of the entire Portuguese economy, and not just a limited set of technology companies.<\/p>\n
