Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has always inspired awe, akin to a fantasy that might transform reality as we know it, but that feeling of mystery has changed with the recent advancements in technology. Now Artificial Intelligence is no more a dream from the future; it is almost a prophetic vision come to life. The ability of the scientific imagination to provide anyone with an electronic device and an internet connection access to the vast computational arena that is powered by machine learning has brought about a current of excitement: What can we do with AI? How can we change the world? Can we make our living easier and our work faster with AI? What is next? But in accompaniment is a sense of apprehension: What else can AI do? If AI has the potential to work faster and better than us, then what is our role in an organisation? Will AI replace us? What is next? This article attempts to understand the consequences of AI adoption in order to judge the positive and negative impact that AI would have on employment in India.
