1. Automation of Routine Jobs: AI is expected to inadvertently perpetuate biases present in their training
automate routine and repetitive tasks, particularly in
sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and customer
service. For example, in manufacturing, AI-powered
robots can perform assembly line tasks with high
precision and consistency, reducing the need for manual
labor. This could lead to job displacement for workers
in these sectors, necessitating a focus on reskilling and
upskilling.

2. Creation of New Job Roles: While AI may displace
some jobs, it will also create new opportunities in fields
such as AI development, data analysis, cybersecurity, and
robotics. For instance, there will be a growing demand
for AI specialists, data scientists, and machine learning
engineers. India can leverage its

data, leading to discriminatory outcomes. For instance,
AI algorithms used in hiring processes may favor
candidates from certain backgrounds, exacerbating
existing social inequalities. It is crucial to develop AI
systems that are transparent, fair, and inclusive, ensuring
that they do not reinforce existing biases or create new
forms of discrimination.
