Aye for AI, but some fear too

Al-related innovation may cause job displacement, especially white-collar work

- 

Hon’ble prime minister is right that Al will open the doors to the future and fortune. But there is also fear that jobs will be lost.

Routine and repetitive jobs such as ticket issuers and checkers, bus and train conductors, rail signal persons, traffic police officers, stenographers and typists, tourist guides, translators, lab technicians, bank tellers, private tutors, etc may vanish. Microsoft’s CEO said that many tasks in white collar jobs will be automated. The company axed thousands of jobs in 2025. Tata Consultancy Services announced in 2025 that it would ‘let go’ of more than 12,000 employees as part of a restructuring exercise. Mr Vinod Khosla predicted that AI could eliminate IT services and BPO firms could almost disappear within the next five years.
