Emphasising that technology adoption must go hand in hand with job creation, Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran on Monday warned that India’s artificial intelligence (AI) push should be aligned with mass employability to avoid widening inequality and social stress. Speaking on the future of work in the age of AI, Nageswaran said the scale of the employment challenge remains formidable, noting that India needs to create at least eight million jobs annually to absorb its growing workforce.
