The Union Budget 2025 announced a Rs. 500 crore outlay to set up a ‘centre of excellence in artificial intelligence for education’. The government focus and the announced resource allocation is not without reason. While for last many decades, technology-driven innovation has changed many facets of our lives, the AI-driven shift is not just fast-paced, but quite significant in terms of its overall impact and implications for the world we live in. 

While AI has the potential to drive economic growth, increase productivity, and create new growth, increase productivity, and create new job opportunities, it also poses challenges such as job displacement and skill gaps. How to navigate this impact is going to be an important aspect for the entire education ecosystem. 

According to the NASSCOM report – ‘Future of Work-2024, Balancing Priorities in an AI-driven World’, in the prior century 98% of the jobs were in occupations that became mainstream, in sharp contrast today the skills required are changing way more rapidly than jobs. Emerging estimates on AI impact in India suggest imbalanced outcomes with higher levels of automation than augmentation. The data from the mentioned report suggests that 100 million jobs will be at risk of automation while 50 million jobs will come with high AI augmentation.

Positive Impacts of AI on Jobs 

  1. Creation of New Job Roles - Demand for AI specialists, data scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI ethicists is growing rapidly; AI is creating jobs in fields like robotics, autonomous vehicles, and AI-driven healthcare.
  2. Increased Productivity - Automation of repetitive tasks, allowing employees to focus on higher-value work. Enhanced decision making will be evident as AI tools help businesses make data-driven decisions, improving efficiency.
  3. Growth of the Gig Economy - Freelance opportunities as AI platforms enable freelancers to offer services like content creation, graphic design, and data analysis. Platforms like Upwork and Fiverr are leveraging AI to match freelancers with clients

Negative Impacts of AI on Jobs

  1. Job Displacement - Automation of routine jobs: Jobs in manufacturing, data entry, and customer service are at risk of being automated.  Call centre jobs are increasingly being replaced by AI-powered chatbots.
  2. Skill Gap - Mismatch between skills and job requirements, many workers lack the technical skills needed for AI-driven roles.  Nasscom states that only 4% of India’s workforce is skilled in AI, machine learning, and data science.

It’s a given that AI is transforming India’s job market, creating both opportunities and challenges. While some jobs will be displaced, new roles will emerge in AI-driven sectors. The education sector at large and higher education in particular will need to evaluate the relevance and future employment potential of the programs being offered. This may require some programs to be re-structured or phased out and new offerings brought to market, the key will lie in ensuring that the coming generation of graduates are equipped with the right skills and knowledge for the emerging job roles.  

While government is focusing on AI education and training, programs like "FutureSkills Prime" by Nasscom and MeitY aim to upskill workers in AI and emerging technologies. Collaboration between the government, IT sector and education sector will be instrumental as we navigate through the AI era.
