IIT Madras whitepaper says AI adoption costs fall unevenly, with entry-level workers at risk

See how this story connects

Source: The Hindu

The Centre for Responsible AI at IIT Madras published a whitepaper examining how AI adoption affects different worker groups in India. The paper says the entry-level career pipeline is especially at risk and that large firms can absorb the fixed costs of integrating AI models more easily than MSMEs. It notes that Indian evidence on job quality, workplace surveillance and informal employment is limited.

Why it matters

India’s IT, BPO, finance and professional-services sectors have historically hired large numbers of entry-level graduates, and the paper asks how new employees will gain experience if AI automates tasks such as password resets, basic contract reviews and boilerplate coding.
