- NITI Aayog released a roadmap titled "AI for Inclusive Societal Development" in New Delhi.
- The study focuses on how artificial intelligence (AI) and frontier technologies can support India’s 490 million informal workers.
- The informal sector contributes nearly 50 percent of India’s GDP but lacks formal protection and opportunity.
- NITI Aayog also proposed a national mission called Digital ShramSetu to build an inclusive AI ecosystem for informal workers.
- The mission will use AI, blockchain, and immersive technologies to address challenges like financial insecurity and lack of skilling.
- Without intervention, the average annual income of informal workers may remain at $6,000 by 2047, below the $14,500 high-income threshold.
