India Balances AI Innovation and Job Concerns

India is facing challenges in developing AI models due to limited digital content in Hindi and other regional languages, but Google is committed to addressing this through language inclusiveness and focusing on sectors like agriculture and health. A recent MIT study indicates that globally, employees view AI as enhancing productivity, though concerns about job threats vary by country, with Americans being particularly worried. Centus predicts AI may displace over half of workers in professional services, including legal and technical fields. Despite these concerns, a BSI survey reveals that 78% of Indian business leaders support AI development even if it results in job losses, prioritizing innovation over job protection. The balance between AI's efficiency and retaining human creativity and collaboration remains a key consideration for the future.
