A new Z47 OpenAI report on India’s AI use says mature adopters are slashing BPO and outsourced work. More than a third have reduced outsourced tasks by over a quarter. The report also claims most “new” AI spending isn’t from fresh tech budgets, but from reallocating money away from outsourcing and software as a service toward AI.

Amazon Web Services outperformed Wall Street’s cloud forecasts, powered by rising enterprise spending on AI adoption.

Even after meaningful investments, progress is slowed by weak AI governance and poor alignment between business needs and execution. The report argues Learning and Development teams must shift from content delivery to decision support, building deeper capabilities for real AI adoption.
