This document discusses how automation and artificial intelligence will impact jobs. It notes that while previous technological revolutions led to more jobs, this time AI is likely to take over most routine jobs across all sectors. Machines are now self-operating rather than requiring human operation. People will need cognitive reskilling rather than just changing sectors. Entrepreneurial and self-employed opportunities will increase significantly as the nature of jobs changes. Reskilling will be required across fields like technology, caregiving, social skills, teaching, and business. India faces challenges in bridging cognitive skills divides and transforming its education system to build new skills.

routine jobs!
Unlike in the
past, this time it
impacts all
sectors!

9. This time Machines are “self operating

required people to operate them

10. In the past, unskilled work force could
change sectors without “cognitive re-
skilling”
Now, no option left…
