NEW DELHI, July 29: Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) is likely to transform the way Indians work rather than lead to widespread job losses, with nearly half of India’s non-agricultural workforce expected to use AI as a productivity tool, a report has said. The report said most occupations are likely to combine tasks that AI can perform with activities requiring human judgement, creativity and physical skills. Knowledge-intensive sectors such as healthcare, education, media, and financial and professional services are expected to benefit the most from AI adoption due to their reliance on information analysis, content creation and decision-making. In contrast, sectors such as manufacturing, construction and mining are expected to face lower direct disruption as their work involves greater physical activity. The report has expected that AI adoption to increase India’s annual labour productivity growth by around 0.4 percentage points over the next decade.
