We stand on the cusp of a technological revolution that promises to boost productivity, spur global growth, and increase incomes worldwide. However, it also poses significant risks, such as job displacement and widening inequality. The rapid progression of artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered global attention, eliciting both enthusiasm and concern. The potential impact of AI on the global economy is complex and multifaceted. While its net effect remains uncertain, it is evident that we must formulate policies to harness AI’s immense potential for the greater good of humanity. Reshaping the Nature of Work Recent analysis by IMF staff delves into AI’s potential impact on the global labor market.

Navigating the Heat: How the Climate Crisis Impacts Your Plate Despite the optimism surrounding a normal monsoon forecast, warnings of a severe summer loom large. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), between April and June, the country can expect more than 10-20 extreme heatwave days, double the count from last year. Scientists anticipate record-breaking temperatures that could surpass human survivability thresholds, casting a shadow over food production and prices. The heatwave isn't sparing staple foods like wheat, or delicacies like Hilsa.

Studies reveal a concerning trend: a cold winter followed by a hot spring can slash wheat yields by up to 20%, posing significant challenges to India's status as one of the world's largest wheat producers and consumers. The effects of...
