New Delhi, May 6 || About 76 per cent of Indians are confident in using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a figure far higher than the global average of 46 per cent, a new report said on Tuesday.
The report by KPMG, which surveyed over 48,000 people across 47 countries, highlighted India as a global leader in public trust and adoption of AI.
The report, titled ‘Trust, Attitudes and Use of Artificial Intelligence: A Global Study 2025’, found that India is not only more optimistic about AI but is also more prepared to use it in everyday life and at work.
According to the report, 90 per cent of Indian respondents said AI has improved accessibility and effectiveness in various areas, making it a transformative force in the country.
At the same time, 97 per cent of Indians said they intentionally use AI at work, and 67 per cent said they couldn’t complete their tasks without it.
In comparison, only 58 per cent of employees globally report intentionally using AI, with just 31 per cent using it regularly.
The report was led by Professor Nicole Gillespie and Dr Steve Lockey from the Melbourne Business School, in collaboration with KPMG.
KPMG India’s Akhilesh Tuteja said the findings show that "India is well-positioned to lead the world in ethical and innovative AI use".
He noted that while optimism is high, responsible governance and policy frameworks are essential to ensure that AI is used safely and fairly.
