AI Skills Expand Across Jobs as Indian Institutes Emphasize Advanced Training
AI skills are increasingly essential across various job roles beyond IT, with employers seeking advanced capabilities like building AI tools and automating workflows. Reports show rising demand for AI proficiency in non-technical fields and growing enrolments in AI upskilling, especially among experienced professionals. Indian institutes like IITs are integrating Forward Deployed Engineering programs to prepare engineers for AI-driven roles that combine technical and business expertise. While some leaders expect AI to reduce headcount, many view it as transforming existing jobs rather than eliminating them.
