The impact of AI on Job creation in India – A study

Abstract

The integration of AI into workplaces necessitates a workforce equipped with new skills. There is a growing demand for expertise in fields such as data science, machine learning, and AI development, resulting in new job opportunities focused on managing, maintaining, and advancing AI technologies.AI serves as a force multiplier, enabling humans to concentrate on higher-order tasks that require creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. Instead of replacing workers, AI augments human capabilities, leading to a more dynamic and productive workforce. Traditional industries are experiencing a shift as AI becomes more prevalent. For instance, manufacturing is evolving with the emergence of smart factories, which create jobs in AI-driven production and maintenance, changing the way products are created and delivered. The present paper made an attempt to study how AI and automation are transforming the Indian job market and to examine AI potential socio-economic impact, and suggest policy measures to harness their benefits while mitigating adverse effects to meet these objective secondary sources which include books, journals, articles and newspapers, websites.
