AI's impact on India's gig economy: Algorithmic managers create challenges and opportunities

A new paper published on arXiv explores the complex relationship between AI and the gig economy in India, specifically focusing on the role of "Algorithmic Human Managers." While these AI systems can increase work opportunities and efficiency, they also present significant challenges regarding fairness, transparency, and worker dignity. The research highlights that these algorithms are often opaque, lead to inequitable outcomes, and do not adequately compensate workers for additional effort. The paper proposes a hybrid governance model that integrates technological efficiency with human accountability to create more equitable AI governance frameworks for the gig economy in India and the broader Global South.
