Mumbai-based entrepreneur and Atomberg founder Arindam Paul has raised serious concerns over the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on India’s white-collar job market. In a recent LinkedIn post, Paul cautioned that AI advancements could significantly reduce employment opportunities in the IT services and BPO sectors, posing a major threat to the country’s middle class and economic stability. Paul emphasized that India’s manufacturing sector is not generating enough well-paying jobs to compensate for potential AI-driven job losses. He wrote, “I don’t think most people, including our leaders, understand how big a threat AI could be to our economy. Our manufacturing is nowhere close to where it should be in terms of generating jobs that pay Rs 3-6 lakh per year. Our IT services and BPOs will see a significant reduction in manpower, and in many cases, in their business.”
It is widely touted that ai will create more jobs than it replaces. Further to that, many in certain industries will breath a sigh of relief that ai will not threaten their vocation and livelihood. These are some of the jobs that will not involve repetitive tasks and be prone to disruption. This means that ai will not replace those that perform them in the open labor market.
Teachers often represent a reference point for many of us. Often, our academic decisions are partly based on how inspiring a particular teacher has been with us in the years prior. For all these reasons, it is almost impossible that we will have a fully digital teaching experience in the Future.
These positions have a strong component of negotiation, strategy and case analysis. A lot is based on the personal experience and knowledge of each specialist. It requires a certain set of skills to be able to navigate complex legal systems and argue in defense of a client in court. There is a human factor involved when it comes down to consider all the various aspects of a trial and take a final decision that could turn into years in prison, in the case of a Judge.
Managing teams inside an organization is a matter of Leadership and this is not a stack of behaviors that can be written down in a code and processed in a linear way. A CEO is also the person responsible for sharing the company’s mission and value down to the team. It is very unlikely that investors will ever feel comfortable investing in a company managed by robots or algorithms.
Although ai does assist in the hiring process to make sifting through CVs so much easier and quicker, Human Resource Managers still cover a variety of very important tasks inside an organization. Hiring new professionals is just part of their prerogatives. They also are a key position inside the organization for maintaining the staff motivated, detecting early-on signs of discontent, and manage them if possible.
Although a lot of face recognition technology is currently being used to develop initial AI counseling care and support, given the growing demand, mental health is a very delicate topic. Human touch is essential when it comes down to supporting people to succeed in their lives in all of the aspects that it can entail.
For sure, technology has seriously increased the accuracy with whom we are today able to diagnose and detect diseases in any medical report. Micro robotics also enhance the precision of the surgeons when it comes down to operation, enabling less invasive procedures.
But being a surgeon requires the ability to connect with the patient on so many other different levels while taking a vast number of the factor under consideration at the same time. Experience, knowledge, and skills acquired throughout the years are all factors that need to be condensed in a matter of minutes during an operation.
No matter how automated we become, there will always be the need of a human presence that can run maintenance work, update, improve, correct, and set-up complex software and hardware systems that often require coordination among more than one specialist in order to properly work.
Reviewing the system capabilities, controlling the workflow and schedule improvements and increase automation is only part of a Computer System Analyst, a profession that is a great demand in the last years.
Writing especially is such an imaginative fine art, and being able to place a specific selection of words in the right order is definitely a challenging endeavor.
So even if AI technically would have the capacity of absorbing the content of most books in the world, in probably any language and come up with a somewhat personal style of communication, the magic and thrill of creating art with words is something that is pretty much going to rest in our domain of competition in the years to come.
