Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to have a far deeper and wider impact on the global labour market than earlier technological shifts because it simultaneously affects both cognitive and skill-based jobs, chief economic adviser V Anantha Nageswaran said, while cautioning that current debates around AI are being driven more by fear than facts.
In an exclusive conversation with ANI, Nageswaran said that while technological change has always disrupted certain categories of employment, AI represents a more complex transition because it is not limited to routine or manual tasks. Instead, it has the potential to reshape knowledge-based professions as well, raising concerns across sectors ranging from IT services and research to content creation and analysis.
