In the current scenario, the adoption of digital and artificial intelligence technologies are likely to have a substantial economic and social impact across countries, as that is the only way forward for faster work processes with minimum human intervention.

AI and automation have become the need of the hour

As lock-downs continue to happen across countries there is a need for governments to evaluate the possibility of incorporating automation across key industries in order to function better specially in these challenging times. Notably, Automation has the potential to alter nearly every facet of work and daily life. Indeed in some areas automation, digital, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are already becoming an essential part of our professional and civic lives.

  • The McKinsey Global Institute identified the adoption of digital technologies as the biggest factor in future economic growth: and it is likely account for about 60 percent of potential productivity growth by 2030. AI alone is expected to yield an additional 1.2 percent in productivity growth per year from 2017 to 2030.
