GenAI to hit 17% of work hours in APAC

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) could impact 17% of working hours — almost 1.1 billion hours—across the Asia Pacific region every year, a new report by Deloitte said. This transformative effect of GenAI could either automate certain tasks or augment them, requiring workers to integrate AI into their workflows.

Developing economies are adopting GenAI 30% higher than their developed counterparts, with India leading the way in the adoption and integration across educational and professional sectors, the report said.
