Study Highlights AI's Mixed Impact on India's Workforce and Employment Dynamics
A recent study highlights that 197 million Indian workers face high automation risk, while 46 million could benefit from AI-driven productivity gains, with states like Kerala and Maharashtra better positioned. Concurrently, concerns arise about AI weakening workers' bargaining power, as hiring favors specialized AI skills, limiting opportunities for freshers and reducing leverage for salary negotiations. These developments suggest AI's uneven impact on India's workforce, affecting job security, wage growth, and employment dynamics across regions and skill levels.
