Kevin C. Desouza and Kiran Kabtta Somvanshi describe how entrepreneurship and reforming worker training can help India prepare for automation.
- As artificial intelligence technologies take over larger number of tasks, India will face unique impacts of automation relative to other countries.
- Incidentally, the Indian economy is currently ill-equipped to face the advent of automation and AI.
- These include boosting employment in sectors that are least vulnerable to automation and encouraging entrepreneurship among the youth.
- Instead of framing policies and incentives to create employment opportunities in areas that are going to be the first to lose jobs with the advent of automation and AI, it will be better to boost employment in the areas that are least vulnerable to automation.
