AI Adoption: A Global Perspective

This report provides a detailed analysis of AI adoption across various industries. It will examine the use of AI in hardware, software and services, along with key product innovations and investments. The study will also highlight AI adoption trends in different regions.

AI is being rapidly adopted across industries. Following generative AI (GenAI), the emergence of agentic AI is expected to accelerate market growth. AI is currently implemented at a functional level and used as virtual assistants, chatbots and to streamline software development. However, there is significant potential for its integration at various organizational levels. This can be achieved through the adoption of agentic AI, which can automate processes and make decisions independently with ease. Advances in large language models (LLMs) combined with 6G technology will enable faster and more accurate realtime data processing.

AI technology has significantly impacted various industries, including banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI); healthcare; media and entertainment; logistics; retail; telecom and education, leading to advances and innovations. The adoption of AI technologies is driven by the continual R&D efforts of tech giants and the increasing demand for advanced solutions in different sectors.

In terms of regional adoption, North America, particularly the U.S., is leading the market due to huge investments and innovations. Canada, Brazil, India, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and South Africa are some of the emerging countries adopting AI. Along with implementation, these countries are working on various strategies, such as investments in R&D and boosting start-ups, to increase the broader acceptance of AI.
