A key study has found that AI has a huge potential to contribute to the global economy, especially Indian economy. By 2030, at least 70% of companies in India will adopt AI technology.
As per the report named “Implications of AI on the Indian Economy”, increasing the intensity of AI by Indian companies will lead to an immediate 2.5% increase in the country’s GDP.
According to NASSCOM report titled ‘“Unlocking Value from Data and AI: The India Opportunity” by the year 2025, AI and data generate around 500 billion dollars to Indian GDP; Of these, 45% will be distributed through retail, baking, agriculture and consumer goods.
As per the Accenture’s report titled, Boosting India’s AI Capabilities for Strong and Inclusive AI-Driven Economic Growth”, AI has the capability to generate 957 billion dollars by 2035 for the Indian economy.
However, the current growth rate in AI investments is unlikely to adequately increase AI intensity levels. To induce a positive growth shock, AI intensities must be drastically increased.
