IIT Madras Study Finds AI Automates Tasks, Alters Entry-Level Job Roles in India
A whitepaper by IIT Madras's Centre for Responsible AI examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping work in India by automating specific tasks rather than entire jobs. The report highlights that entry-level roles, especially in sectors like IT, BPO, finance, and professional services, may be most affected as routine tasks are automated, potentially altering career development pathways. It emphasizes assessing AI's impact task-by-task, considering factors like industry, technology costs, and job redesign, while noting new roles and challenges such as job quality and surveillance.
