AI Future
• LLMs (Large Language Models) and Generative AI are set to automate various tasks that require
natural language understanding.
• That includes summarisation, translation, answering questions, coding, and even conversation.
• AI-powered coding assistants like ChatGPT and Amazon CodeWhisperer are rapidly gaining
popularity and helping developers undertake routine tasks.
• Ninety-two per cent of programmers based in the US are now leveraging AI to supplement their
coding abilities.
Benefits
• A large majority of developers believe that AI coding tools will give them an edge in the workplace.
• Benefits from using AI coding assistants, include accurate, efficient and faster coding.
Concerns / Challenges
• Disruption of markets, creation of inequalities, reduction of incentives for human creativity and
innovation, and the displacement of workers.
• This will create hundreds of millions of unemployed skilled and semi-skilled workers.
• It will also impact developed and developing nations differently.
• Nations and societies that do not rapidly reskill their workforce will be disproportionately affected.
• In India, sectors that involve routine information processing will be affected.
• India is not as well-prepared as China and the US to face the onslaught of Generative AI and related
technologies.
• There are limitations in access to cloud computing in India for training large language models.
• Lack of coordination between academia and industry in India.
• Data security and privacy concerns.
Way Forward
• Workforce training programmes, new policies, and social support measures that help people
through this transition are the need of the hour.
• Incentivisation of the transition of workers by helping them gain new technical skills should be a high
priority.
• The state can think of providing tax breaks and other incentives to help businesses retrain workers.
• Creating income supplement opportunities and job placement services to help displaced workers
apply for new roles.
• Develop a comprehensive national AI strategy that connects stakeholders to provide a roadmap for
responsible AI deployment.
• Establish AI policy think tanks and research institutes to foster AI innovation and nurture talent.
• Incentivise businesses to invest in AI R&D and support workers’ training for the changing
technological landscape.
