India is witnessing rapid growth in multimodal artificial intelligence, with daily usage projected to rise from 22% to 43% by 2030, surpassing the global forecast of 30%.
The shift toward AI-powered text, voice, images and video is transforming consumer behaviour and increasing dependence on mobile connectivity.
As users upload more multimedia content, telecom networks will face growing demands for faster response times, stronger uplink capacity and reliable connectivity.
Globally, AI super users could represent 30% of consumers by 2030, generating over 80% of AI activity.
Agentic AI adoption is also accelerating, with 38% of smartphone users expecting autonomous assistants to manage everyday tasks by 2030, compared with just 4% today.
However, growing concerns over fake, compromised and impersonated AI assistants highlight serious cybersecurity and digital trust challenges.
The next phase of AI adoption will depend on intelligent networks, continuous identity verification, stronger security and trusted digital interactions.
