“…Proponents of the development and implementation of AI-based health applications in LMICs list many potential benefits and advantages, mainly to improve the performance of health systems while reducing costs [4,15]. For example, such applications could potentially reduce the costs of screening and treatment plan selection for pathologies requiring expensive equipment and specialized expertise unavailable in most hospitals in LMICs, particularly in rural and isolated areas [8,[15][16][17][18][19]. Indeed, when available in local settings, new digital technologies, including AI, can facilitate the development of affordable, better quality, and accessible innovations, while overcoming the local resource-constrained environment [20].…”

The World Health Organization and other institutions are considering Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a technology that can potentially address some health system gaps, especially the reduction of global health inequalities in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, because most AI-based health applications are developed and implemented in high-income countries, their use in LMICs contexts is recent and there is a lack of robust local evaluations to guide decision-making in low-resource settings. After discussing the potential benefits as well as the risks and challenges raised by AI-based health care, we propose five building blocks to guide the development and implementation of more responsible, sustainable, and inclusive AI health care technologies in LMICs.

The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen an exponential growth in India. Recent policy initiatives favouring the acceleration of AI application in Indian healthcare is discussed. This article then captures the range of AI applications in healthcare in India. The AI applications range from those used in early screening or diagnostic space, to those used in treatment and rehabilitation. In the Indian healthcare space innovations that can improve rural healthcare is greatly valued. Several of the start ups featured in this article have sought to apply AI to rural Indian healthcare to address the gaps. With smartphone boom AI enabled reality can be possible. However there are several challenges to scale up use of AI in healthcare delivery in India about which this article concludes with. Currently most of the applications are still at a regional level. Several issues are there to scale up the data level needs to be addressed before AI can truly be a reality for India. Data availability, data pooling, data collection, data sharing, data protection, data privacy are among the multifaceted issued which must be sorted out. Other challenges range from human resource issues to lack of awareness to need to address ethical issues in AI based innovations, to cyber security issues, lack of infrastructure, besides the high cost of investing in AI based innovations. Several policy mechanisms and regulatory frameworks are being brought out to address these challenges via NITI Aayog Towards Responsible #AIforAll. The article concludes on the fact that AI in healthcare can potentially change the landscape if done right.

“…Indian economy, however, offers a unique background to explore the aspects of AI, which is expected to have a tremendous effect on the various sectors of the economy. Whilst on the one hand the Indian economy offers a wide range of opportunities for AI application, it offers its own challenges on the other (Kalyanakrishnan et al, 2018). It is all the more momentous to examine the impact of use of AI and intelligent systems in Indian corporate sector.…”

“…It is all the more momentous to examine the impact of use of AI and intelligent systems in Indian corporate sector. Most of the previous research conducted in Indian context on the issue of AI has been theoretical, examining the issues, opportunities, challenges and focusing on the future of AI in India (Kalyanakrishnan et al, 2018).…”

“…2 Gradually, Indian corporate managers are realizing the worth of AI and are thereby incorporating data processing software and adopting Internet of things (IoT) and better control mechanisms through Systems Applications and Products (SAP) and enterprise resource planning (ERP). A growing body of literature substantiates the benefits, consequences, limitations and future scope of AI and IoT (Kalyanakrishnan et al, 2018;Zhang & Yue, 2020), but hardly any study has empirically tested the advantages of adopting AI in business operations in the context of emerging economy like India. The empirical evidence exploring the impact of AI on the outcomes of Indian firms is necessary to authenticate the move of Indian legislators, and it would help corporate managers to imbibe the global trends of advanced technology which ultimately help compete at global level.…”

The current study accounts for a transitional move initiated by NITI Aayog and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) recently in the form of adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Indian economy. Empirical analysis of data of top 500 Indian companies reveals that adoption of this transformation is likely to enhance firm performance. The annual reports of Indian companies mention the use of AI in the business, which clearly indicates that Indian economy has initiated a move towards intelligent economy. It is observed that the banking companies are using AI and chatbots at a wider scale. Firms belonging to other sectors are gradually following the adoption of AI in the business process which results in improved financial performance. The findings of the study suggest that Indian legislators should gradually move towards mandatory adoption of AI in business economy at large in line with the global trend, which began its footprints through Digital India.
