A report from BML Munjal University highlights the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence across sectors, with significant productivity boosts and innovation. Despite benefits, challenges such as a talent shortage and ethical concerns hinder AI integration. Organizations are adopting ethical guidelines to address these issues and enhance human-machine collaboration.
