The report, titled Will AI fix work, explores concerns arising from AI’s rapid adoption. It also showcases that most Indian employees use AI to enhance productivity. The report discloses that 90 percent of employers believe that their workers will need new skills to adapt to the growth of AI. In addition, 78 percent of Indian staff acknowledge that they lack the skills required to meet their job requirements.
The research indicates that AI could aid employees in lowering their workload by delegating work to it, which was agreed upon by 83 percent of Indian workers. As a result, the report recommends that more training and professional development opportunities be made available to assist employees in acquiring advanced tech skills. The report highlights that Indian employers who utilize AI generally believe that it leads to improved productivity rather than job cuts.
