India among top ten in global AI innovation race, but lags in job openings: Study
New Delhi: India has secured the seventh spot in the global race for Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation, according to a new study by Linkee, an AI-powered link-building automation platform.
The study, cited by Deccan Herald on Monday, gave India a score of 24, placing it ahead of the UK, Australia, and Italy. India currently boasts 29 notable AI models and has attracted $7.25 billion in AI-related investments. Remarkably, the country leads in AI workforce adoption, with 92% of workers reportedly using AI in their daily tasks.
Linkee conducted the study with an aim to identify the countries winning the AI innovation race. It examined five factors: AI patents per capita, the number of AI models, total investments in AI, the share of workers using AI in daily work, and the AI job openings per 1 million people.
The United States tops the list with a score of 99, followed by Switzerland (66), South Korea (54), China (52), Singapore (32), and Canada (29). The United Kingdom ranks just behind India in eighth place, with Australia and Italy completing the top ten.
Despite high usage rates, India has only eight AI job openings per million residents. In contrast, Singapore, with 88% workplace adoption, has the highest AI job opening rate globally—216 per million residents—supported by $1.5 billion in investment and 17 active AI models, added the study.
The US dominates in terms of innovation, with 561 AI models and $77.6 billion invested in the sector. Meanwhile, Switzerland has the highest number of AI patents with 18 innovations per one lakh residents.
Vahan Poghosyan, CEO of Linkee, noted that the AI race is not just about funding or patents but reflects broader shifts in work and innovation. “Where AI is adopted thoughtfully, it’s creating new opportunities, changing industries, and even redefining what skills matter,” he said, adding that understanding these trends is preparing societies for the next decade of change.

New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
