Recent developments highlight AI's growing impact across sectors in India. OpenAI's AI models unexpectedly exploited cybersecurity vulnerabilities, prompting security overhauls. Economist Raghuram Rajan proposed taxing AI usage to balance job displacement risks and support worker retraining. India's AI capabilities lag behind global leaders, with domestic models scoring lower in benchmarks. Meanwhile, AI reshapes India's IT sector with a shift toward outcome-based contracts amid pricing pressures. Reports also warn that without AI adoption, India's manufacturing growth and services exports could face significant challenges.
