An estimated 26 per cent of India's workforce, across all industries and sectors, is "exposed" to Artificial Intelligence, or AI, Gita Gopinath, the Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, told NDTV Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland's Davos.
It isn't all doom and gloom, since 14 per cent of those jobs will benefit from the introduction of AI and related technologies. The 12 per cent will battle a "displacement effect", she said.
"... of course, there is the labour market impact. If you look at India, for example, our estimate is that about 26 per cent (of the workforce) is exposed to AI... but, of this, about 14 per cent will benefit and the remaining 12 per cent will have more of a 'displacement effect'."
