Global AI standards to be adopted once finalised: Consumer Affairs secy

With artificial intelligence increasingly permeating daily life, global standard-setting bodies are deliberating on frameworks for its ethical use, Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare said on Wednesday. "Indian experts are in the international standards-setting committees. Once the global standards are framed, they will be adopted by the countries, including India," Khare told PTI on the sidelines of a PHDCCI conference on harnessing AI to combat fraud and counterfeits in the retail and e-commerce sector. She said that 39 global AI standards already exist, while 45 more are in the process of being developed. At the ongoing International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) meeting, discussions are focused on preparing standards for responsible, inclusive and ethical use of AI, she said, addressing the event.

Increased adoption of AI can add $500-600 bn to GDP by 2035: NITI report

Accelerated adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across industries can contribute USD 500-600 billion to India's GDP by 2035 on the back of increased productivity and efficiency in the workforce, a NITI Aayog report said on Monday. The report titled 'AI for Viksit Bharat:The Opportunity for Accelerated Economic Growth' further said over the next decade, the adoption of AI across sectors is expected to add USD 1726 trillion to the global economy. "India's combination of a large STEM workforce, expanding R&D ecosystem, and growing digital and technology capabilities position the country to participate in this transformation, with the potential to capture 1015 per cent of global AI value," it said. According to the Aayog, projections show that while AI will create many new roles, it will also displace many existing jobs, particularly in clerical, routine, and low-skill segments. "Accelerated adoption of AI across industries can contribute USD 500 billion -USD 600 billion over and

Regulations should foster innovations, not wipe them out: FM Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday emphasised the need for regulations that foster technology innovation in a responsible manner, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), rather than stifling it. The government is determined to not only adopt AI technologies but also ensure their responsible application across various sectors, she said while releasing the report 'AI for Viksit Bharat: The Opportunity for Accelerated Economic Growth'. "We do not want regulation that literally wipe out technology itself. We want regulations because we want a responsible application," she said after releasing the report prepared by Niti Aayog here. "AI is a rapidly progressing, real time, dynamic thing, and therefore all of us will have to be conscious that we don't sit back on the ethic as AI can also have its challenges," she said. The challenge not just in jobs, but also in a way in which these can be misused which can have repercussions for the society, she added. According to the

India Inc needs to ensure AI becomes tool for empowerment: ADP India

Knowledge workers and mid-career professionals in India are hopeful that artificial intelligence will positively impact their roles, even as concerns about job displacement persist, especially among younger professionals, a top official of a human capital management solutions provider has said. At a time when AI has become a critical part of an organisation's functioning, many professionals see the positive possibilities of AI. At the same time, a large number also have concerns about job displacement and feel uncertain about AI's future influence on their roles. To lessen fear and resistance around AI adoption, organisations balance enthusiasm for AI adoption with the lingering concerns about job displacement. "A good antidote to fear is skill-building: when employers invest in tailored training and upskilling, employees' anxiety turns into confidence, and optimism rises," Rahul Goyal, Managing Director, ADP India and Southeast Asia told PTI. According to ADP's latest chapter of .

AI to boost management jobs, B-schools must prepare students: GIM director

The number of jobs in the management sector is going to rise with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but they will require a different skill set from the present prerequisites, according to Goa Institute of Management Director Ajit Parulekar. Contrary to the popular concern about AI causing a reduction in job opportunities, the veteran business school academician said the challenge before management institutions is to prepare new graduates for the new set of jobs that are going to be created in the near future. "As far as management is concerned, I do think that the number of jobs that are going to be created is going to go far up and outnumber the number of jobs that are getting kind of closed up. "Having said that, it's not the same set of people who will be able to fit in the roles. So the jobs lost will not be going to the same people as they may not have the skill set to be able to get the job," he told PTI in an interview. Parulekar said there would be organisations
