Deloitte India: Security Vulnerabilities Hinder AI Adoption in India

A recent report by Deloitte has highlighted the growing concerns around security vulnerabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in India. The report 'AI at a crossroads: Building trust as the path to scale', which surveyed over 900 senior leaders across 13 markets, revealed that while enthusiasm for AI is high, significant barriers remain.

According to the report, as many as 92% of Indian executives view security vulnerabilities as a major concern when it comes to AI adoption. The report also found that 91% of Indian businesses have expressed significant concern about the privacy risk related to sensitive data in AI usage.

"Additionally, 89% highlight complexities resulting from regulatory uncertainties, citing evolving compliance requirements as a challenge towards AI integration," it said.

According to Jayant Saran, Partner, Deloitte India, "For Indian organisations, the imperative must be to integrate AI seamlessly into existing systems, addressing both technical and knowledge gaps to ensure sustainable adoption...the journey requires continuous upskilling and cross-functional collaboration."

"By fostering trust through robust frameworks and ethical practices, businesses can mitigate risks and unlock AI's potential to drive innovation, enhance reputation and deliver value with confidence in an increasingly AI-driven landscape."
