The Karnataka government has launched a comprehensive study to assess the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the state's workforce. This initiative is taken up by the Department of Electronics, IT and Biotechnology, Government of Karnataka, and aims to inform the upcoming IT Policy 2025 while shaping strategic interventions under the Government's flagship skilling initiative NIPUNA Karnataka.
Karnataka continues to lead India's technological journey with Bengaluru recently ranked #5 globally in AI and Big Data ecosystems and home to over 1 lakh AI professionals.
According to a release, the AI Workforce Impact Survey invites participation from industry leaders, HR professionals, technologists, and academic institutions to understand the integration of AI in day-to-day business, its influence on operations, and the job functions most at risk of automation.
Announcing the initiative, IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge said the study will offer vital insights into how AI is reshaping industries and job roles across sectors. “Our tech workforce has crossed 1 million professionals and Bengaluru has emerged as the undisputed AI capital of India. But as AI rapidly reshapes industries, we must ensure that our people are not left behind,” he added.
“This study is a crucial step to help us understand the evolving job landscape, guide smart skilling investments under our reskilling programme NIPUNA Karnataka and safeguard our most valuable asset -- our talent. I urge all industry leaders to share their insights,” he added.
The survey is open to responses until June 27, and all entries will be kept confidential and anonymous.
