AI Threatens 12% of India's Non‑Agricultural Jobs

A big bank called Goldman Sachs said that new computer programs that can write and think like people might take over some jobs in India.

They think that about 8 to 12 percent of jobs that are not in farming could be replaced.

But another 42 to 48 percent of jobs might get help from these programs instead of being lost.

Jobs that involve a lot of copying or typing are most at risk, while jobs that need hands or people to talk to each other might grow.

The programs could make India’s workers a little more productive over the next ten years, maybe by 0.1 to 0.8 percent.

The biggest danger is in computer‑helped business services and phone and mail work, while factories that need a lot of hands are less affected.
