World Bank Highlights India's AI Potential Through Data Access and Local Adaptation
The World Bank's World Development Report 2026 highlights that India can maximize AI benefits by enabling controlled access to enterprise data, with 99% of corporate data currently untapped. Executive Director Neelkanth Mishra emphasized India's Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture as a model for secure data sharing. The report advises developing countries to adapt existing AI tools to local needs rather than building costly systems. It also notes that only about 4% of Indian jobs face AI disruption, lower than in developed economies, and stresses the importance of skills and infrastructure for AI adoption.
