AI's Expanding Role in Economy, Employment, and Infrastructure in India and China
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping global and Indian economies, driving significant investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, and services. While AI promises productivity gains and new job opportunities, challenges remain in equitable access, workforce adaptation, and coordination complexities. India is focusing on AI-driven labour market platforms, skill forecasting, and inclusive growth, especially for informal women workers. Meanwhile, China leads in AI industry scale but faces labour market uncertainties. AI applications in banking, voice agents, and mobility infrastructure highlight diverse sectoral impacts and evolving employment dynamics.
