An OpenAI-commissioned study estimates that artificial intelligence could contribute almost 1 trillion Brazilian reals to the country's GDP between 2027 and 2030—equivalent to roughly 7.6% of Brazil's projected 2026 GDP.
Manufacturing and retail sectors stand to benefit most, with productivity gains driving the primary impact. According to the research, 65% of productivity improvements will come from workers producing more with AI assistance, while 35% will result from more efficient machines and equipment.
