India Shows High AI Interest but Low Adoption

A study looked at how people in different countries use and search for AI.

India searches a lot for AI topics, showing that many people are curious about the technology.

However, India was still placed in the low group for actual conversational AI use.

Richer countries generally use conversational AI more often.

The study found that the countries with the lowest adoption account for only about 2% of AI conversations worldwide.

In advanced economies, AI may already be part of everyday work, so people may search for it less.

In emerging countries, people may be very interested but lack reliable internet access or suitable tools.

Some languages also require more computer processing, which can make AI services slower and more expensive.

The researchers called this difference between curiosity and use an interest-adoption gap.
