Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly changing economies and societies around the world. It is being used in healthcare, farming, education and government to make systems more efficient, accurate and scalable. India, with its young population, large amounts of data and growing digital ecosystem, is well-placed to benefit from this AI revolution. But to unlock its full potential, India must overcome several challenges—such as gaps in technology, infrastructure, education, regulation and ethics. This essay looks at the main obstacles to AI adoption in India and suggests practical solutions for building a sustainable and inclusive AI-powered future.
