New Delhi, Oct. 8 -- India can unlock a larger share of the economic benefits from artificial intelligence by making enterprise data more accessible while ensuring that data owners retain control over its use, said Neelkanth Mishra, Executive Director at the World Bank Group.

Speaking at the IndiaAI Mission and World Bank Group's India launch of the World Development Report 2026, Mishra said 99 per cent of data held by corporations remains untouched by AI, making access to enterprise data a key challenge that India needs to address as AI adoption expands.
