Emerging AI Roles Highlight India's Skill Gap and Developer Productivity Tools
Emerging roles in artificial intelligence include 'embedded evaluators' who ensure AI safety within companies and Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who implement AI models in real-world settings. India faces a significant skill gap in these deployment-focused positions, with FDE salaries reaching up to ₹1.55 crore. Companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Zoho emphasize AI as a tool to enhance developer productivity rather than replace them, with platforms like Zoho's Catalyst 3.0 aiming to streamline AI application deployment and scaling.
