Indian professionals leads in adapting emerging tech like AI: Report


With over 70 per cent of Indian professionals actively seeking opportunities to upskill in emerging technologies like AI, the country is leading Global South in technological adaptation owing to various government initiatives, according to a report on Monday.
According to the report released by the Global Labor Market Conference (GLMC), the world’s premier forum for workforce development and labour market insights, while global trust in governments to support upskilling remains low at 20 per cent, Indian respondents (31 per cent) and those in Saudi Arabia (35 per cent) demonstrated significantly higher confidence in their governments.
The urgency to reskill due to technological advancements is a shared concern among Indian workers, with 55 per cent fearing that their skills could become partially or fully obsolete within the next five years. This places India in line with the global trend.
