In more developed economies, for example, as much as 60% of jobs could be impacted by AI. Approximately half of those may benefit from how AI promotes higher productivity, she said.

“For the other half, AI applications may execute key tasks currently performed by humans, which could lower labor demand, leading to lower wages and reduced hiring,” wrote Georgieva, citing the IMF’s analysis.

“In the most extreme cases, some of these jobs may disappear.”

In emerging markets and lower income nations, 40% and 26% of jobs are expected to be affected by AI, respectively. Emerging markets refer to places such as India and Brazil with sustained economic growth, while low-income countries refer to developing economies with per capita income falling within a certain level such as Burundi and Sierra Leone.

“Many of these countries don’t have the infrastructure or skilled workforces to harness the benefits of AI, raising the risk that over time the technology could worsen inequality,” noted Georgieva.

Actually India needs AI esp in agriculture. No one is ready to do those jobs. Farmers are suffering as they cant get labor to work. Most labor migrated to cities in search of better opportunities or they are getting freebees from Govt. 

Anyone willing to do explore businesses in india, its a good space.

I have'nt seen the video, but I do support any AI means for irrigation, polam dunnatam, pest control or the other hard labor. Completely agree with seeds. We should go with the traditional seeds we have been using. 

NO to pesticides and NO to hybrid seeds
