The report cites four other countries along with India as being the most receptive to the idea of AI
India is currently among the top nations in the world that are eagerly taking to artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and innovation, shows a study conducted by the intelligent data infrastructure company NetApp in collaboration with the market research and advisory firm, Savanta. The study report arrived at its conclusions after surveying more than 1,300 executives across various industries in 10 countries.
The report cites four other countries along with India as being the most receptive to the idea of AI. These are The United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore. As many as 60 per cent companies in these countries showed a readiness to accept and innovate in sync with advancing AI technology.
On the other hand, the NetApp-Savanta survey shows that Germany, Japan, Spain, Australia and New Zealand are among countries that have so far been guarded in adopting and innovating with AI. Only 36 per cent of companies in these countries have shown interest in AI initiatives so far.
Around 67 per cent AI-equipped companies all over the world have a hybrid IT environment. India is a frontrunner in this category with 70 per cent such workplaces while Japan lags behind at 24 per cent.
The study reveals a marked divide between nations that have chosen to welcome the pathbreaking technological advancement with open arms and the ones that have seemed cautious about it. The study report aims at providing an all-round view of the international perspective on AI — from willingness to adopt to progress being made in meeting new challenges in the field.
Countries that are receptive to AI, the study says, are more likely to witness profits from the technology. Specifically, this means nearly 50 per cent growth in production, 46 per cent in the automation of regular jobs and 45 per cent betterment in consumer experience.
The study report adds that even among countries that lag behind in the adoption and innovation of AI technology, about 42 per cent of offices at an average have optimised their IT environments to be AI-compatible.
Ensuring security of data and controlling IT expenses are currently the biggest hurdles that nations face while taking to AI, the report concludes.
