Should India be wary of the impending AI disruption

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize industries globally, with India being a key participant in this transformation. As AI technologies progress, India is approaching a pivotal period of change. AI disruption is expected to bring remarkable enhancements in efficiency, productivity, and innovation across sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, finance, and education. This crucial transition will have far-reaching ramifications for businesses across sectors, driving productivity, profits, and return on investment. The maturation of pre-trained models and the widespread adoption of transfer learning techniques for enhancing the overall efficiency of AI-powered solutions is empowering enterprises to generate business value through improved decision-making, reduced costs, and faster time-to-market.

The maturation of pre-trained models and the widespread adoption of transfer learning techniques for enhancing the overall efficiency of AI-powered solutions is empowering enterprises to generate business value through improved decision-making, reduced costs, and faster time-to-market. In India, the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence—estimated to be embraced by nearly 59% of enterprises—is transforming operations through business process optimization, improved customer experiences, and enhanced risk management and compliance. This positions India among the leading nations in AI technology utilization. By 2025, AI could contribute up to USD 500 billion to India’s GDP, potentially adding USD 1 trillion to the economy by 2035.

2024 will mark a watershed moment for generative artificial intelligence, triggering a metamorphosis across the global economic landscape as businesses wake up to its broad potential. Advanced generative algorithms will reach new heights in capability, accessibility and scalability – catalyzing widespread adoption.

Quote on AI Disruption by Mr. Sameer Kanodia,Managing Director and CEO of Lumina Datamatics-

“As we stand on the brink of an AI revolution in India, the potential for disruption across industries is immense. AI will revolutionize sectors from healthcare to finance, offering unprecedented efficiency and personalized solutions. Yet, the human element remains indispensable. As AI takes over repetitive tasks, it is human ingenuity and creativity that will drive innovation forward. The path to integrating AI faces challenges like data privacy, a skills gap, and the need for robust digital infrastructure. Addressing these issues is crucial for unlocking AI’s potential. Government initiatives such as ‘Digital India’ and investments in AI research are laying a strong foundation for future growth. With global collaborations and a focus on ethical frameworks, India is well-positioned to become a leader in the global AI landscape.”
