India Takes The Lead in AI Education, finds Bosch Tech Compass Survey 2025

Bengaluru, India - In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the demand for AI skills has never been greater. With 89% of respondents stressing on the importance of AI in everyday life in future, India is primed for this transformation. Bosch's fourth annual Tech Compass Survey reveals the nation's growing readiness to lead with AI in ways we work, learn, and live, as industries globally adapt to its rapid evolution.

With 4 out of 5 global respondents planning to educate themselves in the field of AI, the report reveals growing optimism amongst Indians, 59% of whom are already self-studying such skills or undertaking basic AI courses. These efforts are further bolstered by AI trainings by Indian employers, placing us ahead of European countries and even the US.

"Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work. This year's report emphasizes on the accelerating need for AI skills at workplace and how we can harness it for greater productivity and success. At Bosch, we recognize the opportunities AI offers and are integrating it responsibly, thereby staying committed to fostering AI literacy and deployment." said Guruprasad Mudlapur, President of the Bosch Group in India and Managing Director, Bosch Limited.

AI in Education
Almost two thirds of the respondents (63%) across the world strongly agreed on AI becoming a standalone subject in schools. This finds further resonance in India where schools and universities are already believed to be equipping youngsters with the required AI skills. With 60% of Indians expecting government to endorse and spearhead such education, the report underlines our broader ambition to cultivate a tech-savvy generation prepared for a future shaped by AI.

For the greater good
84% of Indians feel that technological progress shall make this world a better place, with 63% beleiving AI to be the most influential technology in the next decade. Similar to the last edition, Indian respondents continue to repose faith in the transformative potential of technology to specifically address environmental challenges, underscoring the nation's commitment towards sustainable development.

Concerns & Challenges
While India's optimism towards AI adoption remains high, the survey also highlights key concerns, including job displacements especially in manual and cognitive roles coupled with plagiarism risks, and the potential for increased social inequality. 86% respondents also emphasized the need for binding codes of conduct to guide ethical AI usage in corporations.

What if:
From 68% Indians believing that AI can be a Nobel Prize winner to 76% feeling that AI-controlled humanoid robots can break world records in the Olympics and 72% thinking that AI can solve political conflicts in the future, the report also reflects India's unique responses to integrate AI in the most weird and unexpected ways.

Conducted across Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the Bosch Tech Compass survey aims to explore global perspectives on emerging technologies, encompassing people's attitudes, beliefs, expectations, concerns, and more.
