Artificial intelligence (AI) presents both opportunities and challenges for the global workforce, with the IMF predicting it could affect 40% of jobs worldwide and 26% in India. While nearly half of affected workers may benefit from AI's complementarities, low-income groups are at higher risk of job displacement and reduced income. Despite concerns, restricting AI development is not advised, as past technological shifts have not led to mass unemployment, though proactive solutions for potential negative effects are necessary.
