India leads the world in AI adoption amid the Covid-19 pandemic

The pandemic that hit the world a year ago crippling the lives of both individuals as well as organisations, has created a winner — high technology adoption across the globe, with Indian organisations leading such upgrades.

According to a global study by PwC India, the highest increase in use of artificial intelligence (AI) during COVID-19 times has been witnessed in India.

The study also showed that 94 per cent of the over 200 chief executives in India surveyed said they’ve either adopted or are planning to implement AI in their companies.

While the survey for India was conducted between August and September, globally it was conducted among 670 high ranking officials in September-October.
