“Loss of jobs is AI’s most feared disruption, but history has shown that work does not disappear due to technology, its nature changes and new types of jobs are created. We need to invest in skilling and re-skilling our people for an AI-driven future,” Mr Modi had stated earlier.

Mr Vance’s statement came two days before PM Modi meets US President Donald Trump in Washington. AI is likely to be among the issues that will figure during their meeting.
