So, the other day, the guy in charge of jobs in India, Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, went to talk to some bigwigs in the Indian Parliament. He was like, "Don't worry, peeps, AI isn't gonna take everyone's jobs!" Basically, he's saying that AI is gonna help make more jobs, not take them away. This whole thing came up because some folks have been losing sleep over AI messing with everyone's job situation.
Looking Back at Other Techy Stuff
Mandaviya talked about how when the internet and computers became a big deal, people were like, "Oh no, we're all gonna be jobless!" But, guess what? It totally didn't happen like that. Instead, we got a bunch of new jobs and stuff we couldn't even imagine back then. So, he's pretty sure AI will be the same kind of deal. It'll bring in all these cool new jobs that we can't even think of right now.
Talking 'Bout West Bengal's Job Problems
Someone from West Bengal, Kalyan Banerjee, was worried about not having enough jobs there. So, Mandaviya used that to chat about how important it is to keep investors happy and help companies grow in that area. He kind of hinted that too many protests aren't helping the job situation, which makes sense because if companies don't wanna put their money there, then where are the jobs gonna come from, right?
What the Government's Been Doing
Mandaviya also talked about how the government's been working hard to get more people into jobs. He said that more people are actually working now than before, and there's this big number that went up from 2017-18 to now. It's all because of the stuff the government's been doing, which is pretty cool.
But there's this thing called the RBI's KLEMS database that says 4.7 crore jobs got made last fiscal year, which is like, the most ever in a really long time. The thing is, it doesn't really say where these jobs are coming from, so some people are like, "Hold up, that might not be totally right."
What's Next for AI and Jobs in India
So, obviously, everyone's super curious about how AI will affect jobs in the future. While the government's all positive about it, it's super important for the people who make the rules and the big bosses in companies to team up and make sure everyone can get in on the action. We need to make sure everyone learns the right stuff for these new jobs that'll pop up.
The bottom line is, we gotta keep our eyes on the prize and make sure all parts of India can get the most out of AI and grow the economy. And we can totally do it if we all work together and keep pushing for new ideas and investments.
