The rise of artificial intelligence and automation doesn’t always equate to job loss. According to a new report, the number of medium-skilled IT employees in India is estimated to rise to 1 million from 900,000 while the number of high-skilled employees will jump to over half a million due to increased automation. And while low-skill jobs such as basic bookkeeping will decline, new job opportunities like supervising artificial intelligence or creating infrastructure for self-driving cars are expected to arise as newer technologies are absorbed.
