Gen-AI may replace 8-12% of Indias non-agricultural jobs: Goldman Sachs

New Delhi [India], July 29 (ANI): Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) could substitute 8-12 per cent of India’s non-agricultural employment, while complementing 42-48 per cent of the workforce by enhancing productivity rather than replacing workers, according to a Goldman Sachs report.

The report suggests that while Gen-AI is expected to automate a portion of work across industries, its overall impact on India’s labour market is likely to be one of job reallocation rather than widespread job losses, with physically intensive occupations remaining largely insulated from automation.
