India – Most ‘repetitive and predictive’ jobs could be disrupted due to automation (Times of India)

Filed under: News |

More than half of repetitive and predictive roles sectors such as IT, financial services, manufacturing, transportation and packaging will face risk of disruption over the next two years in India due to automation, reports the Times of India citing a study from Indian staffing services firm TeamLease. The study estimated that 52%-69% will be exposed to the risk of automation, however this may not automatically imply job losses as new high-order jobs will be created simultaneously. TeamLease says that greater adoption of AI will likely see role changes in the workforce that would need higher specialisation and critical thinking. TeamLease also warned that unless adequate investments are made on upgrading skill levels, the oncoming AI revolution will certainly lead to largescale job losses. The study suggested looking to countries such as China which are developing plans for AI education.
