The Story in Brief
LinkedIn CEO Dan Shapero has said AI engineering jobs in India are growing 51% year-on-year, even as global hiring slows. He attributed the global slowdown more to rising interest rates than to AI displacing workers. The data from the professional network suggests India is seeing a surge in demand for talent skilled in artificial intelligence and machine learning, while traditional hiring cools.
The Indian Opinion
The LinkedIn CEO's data on AI job growth is welcome, but the narrative that AI is a pure job creator needs balance. Many traditional roles in IT services and back-office work face automation risks. The real test is whether India's workforce can reskill fast enough to avoid a net job loss. Watch net employment change across sectors, not just AI-specific hiring, over the next year.
