India among global top 10 AI adopters, poised to grow sharply: Study

India is among the top 10 nations in the world in terms of technological advancements and funding in artificial intelligence, according to findings from a study published by The Brookings Institution. While India is outside the top 10 in terms of commercial and research initiatives in artificial intelligence (AI), it ranks sixth in terms of spending and investments on AI made by public, governmental initiatives, as well as private institutes and organisations. The study notes that alongside having increasing adoption of new generation technologies, India is "well positioned from the funding standpoint" – a factor that gives it leverage to quickly achieve faster innovations in AI technologies, and overtake other nations that are leading AI achievements right now. The other nations leading AI achievements ahead of India are USA, China, United Kingdom, France, Japan and Germany. Canada, South Korea and Italy are the other three nations behind India in the top 10 AI adopters list, as per the study.
