Piyush Goyal identifies India's ‘AI-proof’ sectors, says ministry working on jobs AI can't replace
Piyush Goyal said the commerce ministry is identifying professions and sectors where artificial intelligence can improve efficiency without displacing workers.
Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal highlighted India's "AI-proof" sectors during a visit to Berlin, Germany. These sectors include handicrafts, handlooms, culinary arts, and tourism, which he believes are less susceptible to artificial intelligence. The ministry is identifying professions and industries that are less likely to be replaced by AI as India prepares for a technological revolution.
Goyal emphasized the importance of harnessing the skills and talent of India's 1.4 billion people to develop these sectors and ensure the country's future prosperity. He stated that AI can enhance productivity in these sectors without necessarily replacing human workers, and that the government's initiative aims to leverage India's skilled workforce and youthful population.
