As Bangladesh’s Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal prepares to unveil the budget for the new fiscal year, various economists, experts, and analysts have shared their expectations. To provide an additional perspective, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence tool, ChatGPT, and Google Bard were asked to share their budget priorities for 2023-24. ChatGPT suggested that Bangladesh consider focusing on infrastructure development, education and skill development, healthcare and social welfare, agriculture and rural development, climate change adaptation and resilience, poverty alleviation and social safety nets, and good governance and institutional strengthening. In contrast, Google Bard highlighted that Bangladesh should prioritize reducing poverty and inequality, improving infrastructure, addressing climate change, promoting good governance, and investing in human development. Both tools emphasized investing in the country’s people and their well-being as vital to sustainable economic growth.
