Economic Survey | AI casts “huge pall of uncertainty” over jobs

The Hindu  

The Economic Survey published on Monday warned against the potential challenge that artificial intelligence could present to the Indian economy saying the “advent of the tech casts a huge pall of uncertainty as to its impact on workers across all skill levels – low, semi and high.” The massive changes owing to widespread adoption of AI “will create barriers and hurdles to sustained high growth rates for India in the coming years and decades.” Economic Survey 2023-24 LIVE updates The report recognised that while AI could boost productivity, its disruptive powers couldn’t be undermined. The report also noted that as AI was quickly becoming a general-purpose technology as often used as electricity and the internet, it was emerging as a “strategic differentiator determining the economic prosperity of nations.” Additionally, there was a danger that AI could skew the capital and labour shares of income in favour of the former. Citing a Goldman Sachs report from April, the document shared that AI could become “one of the major bottlenecks for clean energy transition, and the addition of data centres and AI could exacerbate this”. A NASSCOM study had called India an attractive region for AI investments due to its relatively low operating costs and the world’s second-largest pool of highly skilled AI, machine learning, and big data workers.
