Much of today’s debate about artificial intelligence focuses on innovation, competition, and productivity gains. Far less attention is paid to a harder question: What happens when technological change moves faster than economies, labour markets, and public institutions can adjust?

Whether these systems produce accurate, safe, and high-quality information to users depends on the language in which the user accessed the chatbot, among the nation’s 22 official languages and hundreds of dialects and mother tongues. Indian users are a rapidly growing consumer base for chatbots, with high knowledge and awareness of new technologies and interest in using them. Their experience with chatbots should be equal regardless of the language they speak. But right now, AI systems aren’t built with the local, linguistic, and cultural context required…
