Artifical Intelligence

Indian enterprises are outpacing their global counterparts in terms of large-scale adoption of Artificial Intelligence, with most organisations expecting to increase their AI spending next year, according to a report by Deloitte. However, this rapid deployment contrasts with a significant capability gap, as India reports lower levels of specialist AI expertise compared to the global average.

"So this is not going to go to waste...A coder using AI is going to be well ahead of a non-coder using AI," he said. Artificial Intelligence is empowering more professionals across fields, even though core tech expertise remains valuable, Hodjat believes. The recent India AI Impact Summit, held in New Delhi, showed the extent to which the country is prioritising artificial intelligence. "India has a unique position because they have a starting point that is ahead of everyone else. Because you have a tech-savvy population and you are building on solid grounds which is the technolog
