AI is the Future, and the Future is Now: A Preview of the "Implementor’s Guide to AI"
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s here, redefining industries, reshaping decision-making, and recalibrating how businesses interact with customers. From streamlining operations to enabling hyper-personalisation, AI has proven its potential as a groundbreaking force.
Yet, as we marvel at its capabilities, the journey to adopting AI effectively and responsibly remains riddled with questions. How can organisations integrate AI seamlessly into their workflows? What are the risks? And, more importantly, where does one begin?
We’re delighted to announce that Research NXT will soon unveil an essential resource for businesses navigating these complexities — the “Implementor’s Guide to AI”, sponsored by Salesforce.
AI in India: A Rapidly Growing Frontier
India is poised to become a global leader in AI adoption. With its diverse industries and vast talent pool, the country is uniquely positioned to harness AI for economic growth and innovation.
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT have revolutionised customer engagement in industries like e-commerce and financial services. AI-driven solutions in healthcare are improving diagnostics and patient outcomes, while smart manufacturing is enhancing efficiency in industrial processes.
According to NASSCOM, India’s AI market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% by 2027, with applications spanning healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and finance.
While the potential of AI in India is immense, several challenges continue to hinder its full adoption. One significant issue is data silos, as only 39% of Indian organisations have successfully integrated internal and external data, which is a critical step toward creating a unified customer view.
Another major concern is ethics, with data privacy, bias, and reliability emerging as top challenges. In fact, 48% of businesses identify data privacy as their biggest hurdle in implementing AI effectively.
In addition, there are readiness gaps. Despite the growing traction of AI-driven personalisation, only 7% of organisations in India have developed mature, responsible AI practices.
The “Implementor’s Guide to AI” is designed to address these gaps, providing Indian businesses with actionable insights tailored to their unique challenges and opportunities. Whether your organisation is experimenting with AI or actively implementing advanced solutions, this handbook will meet you where you are.
