Goldman Sachs Report: Gen-AI May Automate Tasks in 8-12% of India’s Non-Agricultural Jobs
A Goldman Sachs report estimates that generative AI (Gen-AI) could automate 9-17% of tasks in India's non-agricultural workforce, potentially substituting 8-12% of jobs while complementing 42-48% by enhancing productivity. The impact is expected to vary by sector, with services like education, healthcare, media, and financial services benefiting most, while physically intensive jobs remain less affected. The report anticipates job reallocation rather than widespread losses and projects a possible boost in labor productivity over the next decade.
