About 8 in 10 (85 percent) Indian IT leaders believe that their existing IT infrastructure is ready for the demands of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, while only 56 percent in Asia-Pacific have certainty about the ability of their infrastructure for AI, a new report said on Monday.
According to the global interconnection and data center company Equinix, AI uptake is on the rise across all industry sectors, with more than 90 percent of the IT decision-makers polled in India seeking to benefit from the advantages of AI and already using or planning to use it across multiple key functions.
“AI, especially generative AI, has made significant strides, and its adoption in India is growing tremendously. AI will catalyze intelligent applications, empowering organizations to thrive in a dynamic digital landscape. Embracing AI is the key to resilience, competitive advantage, and sustainable growth,” said Manoj Paul, Managing Director, Equinix India.
