The report, titled 'Where's the Value in AI?', was based on a survey of 1,000 Chief Experience Officers (CxOs) and senior executives from over 20 sectors, spanning 59 countries in Asia, Europe, and North America, and covering as many as ten major industries.

Majority Use In Periphery

While just 4 per cent of companies globally have developed cutting-edge AI capabilities across functions and consistently generate significant value, an additional 22 per cent have implemented an AI strategy.

74 per cent per cent of companies have yet to show tangible value from their use of AI, said the report.

Moreover, the maturity of India's AI leaders spans both traditional and digital sectors, signalling a broad-based adoption that's driving value beyond typical tech-driven industries.
