76 pc Indians trust AI, far ahead of global average at 46 pc: Report
New Delhi: About 76 per cent of Indians are confident in using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a figure far higher than the global average of 46 per cent, a new report said on Tuesday.
The report by KPMG, which surveyed over 48,000 people across 47 countries, highlighted India as a global leader in public trust and adoption of AI.
The report, titled 'Trust, Attitudes and Use of Artificial Intelligence: A Global Study 2025', found that India is not only more optimistic about AI but is also more prepared to use it in everyday life and at work.
According to the report, 90 per cent of Indian respondents said AI has improved accessibility and effectiveness in various areas, making it a transformative force in the country.
At the same time, 97 per cent of Indians said they intentionally use AI at work, and 67 per cent said they couldn't complete their tasks without it.
In comparison, only 58 per cent of employees globally report intentionally using AI, with just 31 per cent using it regularly.
The report was led by Professor Nicole Gillespie and Dr Steve Lockey from the Melbourne Business School, in collaboration with KPMG.
KPMG India's Akhilesh Tuteja said the findings show that "India is well-positioned to lead the world in ethical and innovative AI use".
He noted that while optimism is high, responsible governance and policy frameworks are essential to ensure that AI is used safely and fairly.
Professor Gillespie added that the global public wants reassurance that AI is being developed and used in a secure and transparent way.
'The importance of trust and governance in ensuring AI technologies are accepted and adopted widely,' she emphasised.
Nearly 86 per cent have personally experienced or seen positive outcomes from AI, including better productivity, improved innovation, and reduced time spent on routine tasks.
The report also found that AI training and understanding are higher in India compared to advanced economies.
About 78 per cent of Indian respondents feel confident in their ability to use AI, 64 per cent have received some form of AI training, and 83 per cent feel they can use AI tools effectively, said the report.

Indian banks' asset quality to stay stable amid global risks: Moody's
Global rating agency Moody's today said the Indian banking sector will be able to broadly preserve asset quality despite trade tensions posing risks for the global economy. Domestic economic conditions remain supportive of growth, and the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio is expected to stay at the 2–3 per cent level over the next 12 months, the agency said. The NPL of the Indian banking system stood at 2.5 per cent at the end of December 2024. Moody's, in a statement, said the government's capital expenditure, tax cuts for middle-income groups to boost consumption, and monetary easing will underpin the Indian economy. Also, a low level of dependency on goods trade will shield it from external risks to an extent. This will help banks preserve their asset quality. While overall asset quality performance would remain stable, there will be divergence in loan performance across different product types and lenders. Wholesale loans will continue to perform well as companies maintain good profitability and low levels of leverage, it added. Wholesale loans are a key part of Indian banks' loan books, along with retail and agriculture loans. The quality of unsecured retail loans will remain weaker than that of secured ones for at least the next few quarters. New NPL formation rates for secured retail loans have broadly stayed low, while those for unsecured loans have risen in recent quarters. As this trend persists, small private sector banks will continue to have weaker asset quality than large private banks and public sector banks, it added. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI 's) macroprudential measures have prevented excessive loan growth in the banking system. It raised risk weights for unsecured retail loans and exposures to non-bank finance companies (NBFCs) by 25 percentage points in November 2023. Growth in these two types of loans has slowed markedly because of the central bank's measures. While the RBI lowered risk weights for loans to NBFCs effective April 2025, we expect growth in bank lending to the sector to be in line with overall credit expansion, it added.

He smiled through his pain, he smiled through his trauma.'Director Coogler shared insights on shaping the twins, revealing he consulted real-life identical twins Noah and Logan Miller for authenticity. He noted, 'They were able to work with Michael to get into the psychology of who Smoke and Stack are... Since I've known these guys, they've shared one cell phone. You'd call and not know who'd pick up, but you always knew the other one was right there.'Jordan, reflecting on the creative process, said, 'What we kind of understood about identical twins is that one is more dominant in certain areas than the other. So discovering those little details was really fun and quite insightful from a process point of view.'Along with its digital release, a special featurette titled 'Thicker Than Blood: Becoming the Smokestack Twins' is available, offering a deeper look into the preparation behind Jordan's dual roles. The home release, including 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions, is scheduled for July from Jordan, the cast features Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Miles Caton, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Li Jun Li, and Delroy Lindo.
