AI- India has greatest potential

India is at 15th position among the top 25 Artificial Intelligence (AI) nations, but it has the ‘the greatest
upward potential’ according to research by Tufts University’s business school, the Fletcher School. Although
behind US, China, UK, Japan, Germany, India is ahead of Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey,
Indonesia and Thailand.

The four major drivers for attaining the target are:
• The rapidly accumulating pools of data through broadband consumption
• The rules of how data can be accessed, which include data governance policies and crossborder data flow;
• Capital, which includes talent, investments, diversity of AI talent and evolution of the digital
foundation; and
• Innovation which includes patent applications, citations, publications, etc.

Indian government is relentlessly working towards building a robust growth ecosystem to ensure
healthy development of AI in India and its applications in various components of governance and social
development.
