AS 2047, THE centenary of India’s century of Independence draws closer, the dream of a fully developed economy and sustainable, inclusive growth seems to be taking shape. What role could artificial intelligence, or AI, play in this India?
The poster child of technology for the past decade and becoming increasingly accessible to all, AI holds the promise of new economic opportunities, the potential to improve welfare services in healthcare and education for every Indian, and the allure of India emerging as the provider of AI to the world.
This could be a natural progression from India’s current dominance worldwide in the information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector.
A cornerstone of the economy, the sector employed over 5.4 million people in 2022-23 and has captured more than 30% of the global outsourced BPM market. Likewise, digital technologies have unlocked a booming start-up and digital business ecosystem in India. The country’s unique national-scale digital infrastructure has paved the way for greatly inclusive financial services.
AI has already carved out its presence as an important theme in global forums, boardroom discussions, and political discourse.
It is enabling higher efficiencies in manufacturing for better yield, throughput, and optimal energy use. It is enabling the right products to be present at the right place and showcased to customers most likely to be interested in them.
