BENGALURU: Infosys says it could start looking at India as a market for its automation services, after the country scored unexpectedly high in a report on artificial intelligence (AI) that the IT company released at the World Economic Forum in Davos.The report and survey , which were put together by an independent research firm, said Indian companies surveyed had an average AI maturity score of 55%, compared to an average score of 46% of companies in the United States.China had a maturity score of 56%. “One of things that surprised me in the survey results is how high India and China scored. Currently , we are focused on selling our AI platform to our existing clients in the US and Europe. On the back of this, we have to see if we can target India as a market,“ UB Pravin Rao, chief operating officer of Infosys told ET.Part of the reason for India's outperformance is the fact that there are few legacy tech nologies in India and there is less fear of employee skills becoming obsolete. Adoption of Infosys' automation platform Mana has doubled in the past few quarters, though from a small base.Platforms and products contribute about 5% to Infosys' revenue, and the company wants this to increase to 10% by 2020. The potential market for the adoption of Mana is growing. More than threequarters of business leaders surveyed for the report said they believed that artificial intelligence was fundamental to the success of their strategy.And about 39% of those who are currently using or planning to use AI expect it to boost their revenue by 2020.The report also held out hope for those who believe that widespread use of AI will result in greater unemployment.“Eight in 10 firms that have replaced, or plan to replace, roles with technology will retrain or redeploy those who are displaced,“ report said.Pharmaceutical companies surveyed for the report had the greatest maturity score on AI with 58%. Financial services companies, scored 47%.
