Hyderabad: Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, released new research showing that when artificial intelligence (AI) is fully harnessed, employees in India with AI skills and expertise could see salary hikes of over 54 per cent, with employees in IT (65 per cent), and research and development (62 per cent) enjoying the highest pay increases.
To better understand emerging AI usage trends and skilling needs in workplaces, AWS commissioned Access Partnership to conduct a regional study, titled “Accelerating AI Skills: Preparing the Asia-Pacific Workforce for Jobs of the Future”. Over 1,600 workers and 500 employers were surveyed in India.
“The AI wave is sweeping across the Asia-Pacific region, including India, transforming the way businesses operate and the way we work. Our research shows that society as a whole will benefit from an increased productivity boost, which will translate into higher salaries for skilled workers in India,” said Abhineet Kaul, Director at Access Partnership.
