India will be AI powerhouse soon, says CEO of Boston Consulting Group

Changes coming through artificial intelligence (AI) will be more profound and fundamental than other technological shifts in recent years, and India is very ‘well positioned’ to be a ‘real powerhouse’ in AI, said Christoph Schweizer, the CEO of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum.

“The workforce in India is highly tech oriented, highly educated and nimble and that’s a huge asset,” said Schweizer in a fireside chat on ‘The Next Playbook: Navigating geopolitics, Technology, and Climate in the 21st Century.’
