CEA V Anantha Nageswaran NEW DELHI: AI could either amplify India’s demographic advantage or weaken it, depending on the choices made now, chief economic adviser V Anantha Nageswaran said on Monday, calling for coordinated national action. Speaking virtually at AI Impact Summit during a session on ‘Employability in the AI age’, Nageswaran said technological adoption must be deliberately aligned with mass employability rather than allowed to evolve on its own. “This will not happen by drift,” he said. “It will require political will, state capacity, and national commitment to aligning technological adoption with mass employability.” Framing AI as a pivotal moment in India’s growth journey, he argued that the outcome would be shaped by execution. “India can be the first large society where human abundance and machine intelligence reinforce, and not undermine, each other. The outcome will not be accidental,” he said. The path to co-creating prosperity with AI, he said, begins with strengthening foundational learning and imparting skills that enhance employability in a technology-driven economy.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosUnion Minister Vaishnaw Details India’s Measures To Handle Deepfake Threats‘Crucial Role For India In AI Governance’: Duncan Cass-Beggs At AI SummitFarewell Address To Nation: Yunus Steps Down Before BNP Takes Charge In DhakaMega AI Summit In Delhi, 20 Heads Of State To Attend; Which Names Figure In New Epstein Files Dump?’From 25 Years To 5’ Rajnath Singh Pushes DRDO With 5-Year Ultimatum On 5th And 6th Gen EnginesIndian Team To Visit US Next Week To Finalise Trade Deal Framework As Govt Faces Opposition Fire’AI Works On Data, Humans Create The Unseen’: CBFC Chairman Prasoon Joshi At AI Impact Summit 2026″Pierce Brosnan To Play Me?” Karti Chidambaram Jokes Amid Dhurandhar Buzz“India Must Move Fast In Ai Era”: Chief Economic Adviser Calls For Structural Reforms’AI Will Create More Than It Destroys’: Microsoft India Chief Puneet Chandok Predicts 3-Year Rise123PhotostoriesBhabiji Ghar Par Hain: From Aasif Sheikh to Shilpa Shinde; A look at the cast’s per-episode feesHow to make traditional Lasuni Dal Tadka for lunch at homeSivakarthikeyan birthday special: From ‘Velaikkaran’ to ‘Hero’ – films to stream on OTT5 animals that thrive on both land and water, and where to spot themT20 World Cup Special: How to make Ishan Kishan’s favourite Chilli Paneer & Garam ParathaFrom Vada Pav to Pumpkin Chicken Curry: 10 comforting dishes that Sachin Tendulkar loves to eat8 popular types of motorbikes and their usesWhy keeping your relationship private is a smart move, as per psychology8 comforting steamed egg dishes to try from around the world7 stunning colour-changing birds found around the world123Hot PicksBengal election commissionGold Silver PricesSaudi Labour Law ViolationVB-G RAM G schemeIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingLas Vegas TragedyKayla NicoleCosta RicaJutta LeerdamStefon DiggsKayla NicoleSan Jose SharksBrandon BussiCandace OwensJake Paul Fiance
