Study Finds Varying AI Exposure Across Indian States, Quarter of Workforce Affected
A recent study by the Great Lakes Institute of Management finds that about a quarter of India's workforce is now in AI-exposed occupations, up from around a fifth in 2012. States like Kerala, Haryana, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu have higher shares of workers in AI-complementary roles, while Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh lag behind. The study highlights that AI exposure varies by job type and region, with many routine jobs vulnerable to automation, emphasizing the need for worker retraining to address future employment challenges.
