According to a 2023 study by researchers from OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania, about 80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their job tasks affected by AI automation, with white-collar and higher-education-level jobs being among the most vulnerable to change. However, the study also emphasizes that AI will lead to job shifts and new opportunities rather than large-scale job dislocation, highlighting the collaboration between humans and AI as the future of work.

India made history by launching its heaviest-ever communication satellite, GSAT-7R (CMS-03), weighing 4,410 kg, using the LVM-3 rocket in November 2025. This marks the first time ISRO has placed a satellite over 4,000 kg into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) from Indian soil, strengthening naval communications across the Indian Ocean Region. The mission showcases ISRO’s expertise in cryogenic propulsion and sets the stage for advanced future missions, including human spaceflight and India’s proposed space station.
