Goldman Sachs Reports Generative AI to Boost India's Labor Productivity Over Next Decade
A Goldman Sachs report projects that generative AI could automate 9-17% of tasks in India's non-agricultural workforce, with 42-48% of jobs likely to benefit from AI-driven augmentation. The technology is expected to boost India's annual labor productivity growth by about 0.4 percentage points over the next decade, primarily by automating routine tasks and enabling workers to focus on higher-value activities. Benefits are anticipated mainly in sectors like healthcare, education, and financial services, while manufacturing and construction may see less impact.
