00:00AI is just an instrument that helps us do our jobs better, but I don't think it can actually replace us.
00:08They cannot manage us. We can manage it. If they learn how to manage it, of course we can operate it from behind from back.
00:15All these MNCs don't want to pay off these people, right? That's the main goal of them because they want profit also.
00:20The person to person. It's different for every person. So I think that AI can't do it.
00:26AI is to be taught according to our needs.
00:28Good somewhere and also it is bad somewhere. There is a disadvantage and an advantage in both of the sides.
00:35I don't want that people want to chat with me and I don't. I don't think there's a future.
00:48Manvi, we are going to see a massive change in jobs in India because of AI, Artificial Intelligence.
00:55What do you think? Are you ready to face all of that?
00:56Yes, currently we are already studying about it. Like how AI is. AI is a thing which will change the job.
01:03You can't help it. So you have to learn it. How you can just be comfortable with it. Yes, we are ready for it.
01:11Do you have any program of AI or Artificial Intelligence in your college curriculum?
01:17We have many departments. Currently in my department there is nothing like that. But we have different departments of AI also.
01:23We are currently studying how to use informational technologies etc. in education and from education department.
01:29So yes, we are studying about it. How to use it. How to use it in education. How to teach students from that.
01:35Manvi, we have also seen that Amazon has laid off a lot of employees because of AI. What do you think? How can an employee tackle themselves in such a situation?
01:45Because this is going to be really grim for all those employees. Thousands of them laid off.
01:49Of course, AI is taking down the human space. So we have to learn AI how to operate it. They cannot manage us. We can manage it.
01:58So if they learn how to manage it, of course, we can operate it from behind from back.
02:03A lot of AI courses are not free of course. What do you have to say to the government of India? Do you have any request to them that they need to make all of these AI courses free at least for students so that they can upskill themselves and have better future prospects?
02:17Just a suggestion. If you want the employment rate to be high, you have to make it free. At least, you can afford AI courses so that you can improve your employment.
02:28Shreshi Sharma. Shreshi. Shreshi, how on a rate of 0-10 are you scared because of AI that AI is going to take away all the jobs?
02:378 or 7. 8 or 7. It means you are very scared. Which branch you are in?
02:43I am in a graphic designing field. Graphic designing. So do you think that this is something which AI can do and all of your jobs can be taken away?
02:50Yes, I am sure on this because in the current scenario, there is a company that they ask us, do you know how to use AI? They don't think we have skills about Illustrator or Photoshop or InDesign. They are not happy with that. They want, can you use Canva Pro? Do you know how to use AI? You can generate with that. That's why we are all scared to do jobs in future.
03:16So do you have any skill upgradation programs in your curriculum where teachers are helping you out to get your hands on AI?
03:23No, right now, no. But in future they are telling us that we will be discussing with our heads so that you can learn AI how to use it and you can save your jobs.
03:33Are you open enough to learn and upskill yourself in this technologically advanced world? Because this is going to help you big time in future.
03:42Yeah, I am very interested to learn AI because in the future that is the only way we can do jobs in that. So yes, I am interested and it will be very helpful for us all.
03:53For example, that you are working in a company and because of AI your job is gone now, you have been laid off. What you will do in that particular scenario, will you be so disheartened that you will just, you know, fiddle around or will you be ready to upskill yourself to contribute?
04:08Yeah, I will be a little bit sad but at one point I will think that, okay, fine, I should improve myself and go work on that.
04:18Sometimes the companies, they just throw the employees out saying that, okay, so don't come from tomorrow. And sometimes they are sensitive enough to, you know, convey this in a proper manner.
04:27What do you have to tell to the employers who are looking to lay off people, lay off employees because of AI?
04:33They will also improve. Just tell them that we want this skill, just improve it. If that colleague or that employee is not willing to do it, then you can do whatever you want to. I can only say that on this.
04:47Here, two boys sitting and they just told me that they are freshers. They have just joined college. So thank you so much for speaking with us. What's your name?
04:59Ayaan Mahachan.
05:00Ayaan, today we are making a program and asking the opinion of Zenzi's. What do they think about the future of jobs? Are you scared that AI is going to take over your jobs?
05:09Well, I think maybe, I can overcome. The thing is, like, because of AI replacing most of the jobs, like, I've heard in Amazon, they recently...
05:22They've made up thousands of people.
05:24Yeah, almost like 30% of their employees just got fired because of AI replacing all these jobs. Yeah, that's happening.
05:30Are you ready to upscale yourself to face these kind of challenges?
05:34We have to upscale ourselves to, like, you know, if we have such qualities, like, obviously, we are better than AI, as we are human mind. We are creating AI, so we are better than AI.
05:43In which program have you enrolled in your college?
05:45I'm in BBA currently.
05:47I'm sorry?
05:48BBA, BBA.
05:49So, have you requested to the teachers or the administration that they need to also have this kind of an AI skill upgradation program in your college?
05:58This program will be provided us in, like, third year.
06:04Third year? Okay.
06:05We have an option for this.
06:07Right. So, in third year, you can choose if you want to enroll in that or not.
06:11Alright, so, you know, employers laying off all of these thousands of people, what do you have to say to them?
06:17Do you think that they need to, rather than laying them off, they need to upgrade their skills, you know, let them know how AI functions so that they can be efficient and stay on the jobs?
06:26Companies should give them chances, you know, to upscale themselves or the requirement they need.
06:31Actually, the main thing is, usually, all these MNCs don't want to pay off these people, right?
06:37That's the main goal of them because they want profit also.
06:40The main thing, everyone should focus now, like, freshers like us.
06:45We should upscale ourselves, we should learn new skills, so we can challenge, we can challenge stuff.
06:50Yes, that's it.
06:51What is your future planning once you pass out from college? What are you looking to do? Will that work be something related to AI?
06:58I guess because, like, as he told you, we'll be getting such programs, maybe joining.
07:04What happens?
07:05Yeah, I think it's that, but maybe joining an MNC, working as, I'll aspire to be a CMO, yeah, so yeah, I'll see.
07:13First of all, AI is going to take over our jobs, and this is not something which I am saying.
07:17This has been said in official reports by World Economic Forum also, that 50 to 60% of the jobs are going to either get transformed or completely going to be obsolete.
07:26What do you think about that? Are you in final year or what?
07:31I am doing my masters in psychology, I am in my first year.
07:36Okay.
07:37Yeah.
07:38Do you think that in psychology, we can make use of AI? It's not so ethical.
07:43I think we can, but that depends. I think every person is different and according to that, the intervention, it's according to that, to the person to person, it's different for every person.
08:00So I think that AI can't do it, but yeah.
08:04But what if I add all the personality traits of that person and ask AI, what is the solution to this problem that I have?
08:12It won't be correct, right?
08:15I think it won't be correct. Like for now, it won't be correct because they do give some wrong advice and all.
08:27But I think in the future, if there is more technology and you know, you are teaching them about the emotional intelligence and all, so I think that can happen.
08:40But I think nowadays people, if they face any problem, they usually ask AI softwares.
08:44Yeah.
08:45Have you also done it?
08:46Yes.
08:47Okay. May I ask, which question have you asked AI?
08:49Everything, I think. Even about stress level, the things I am coping with, everything actually. Homework, schoolwork, all that.
09:02I think it's not only AI, a lot of jobs are also shifting remote. From on-site, they are promoting remote work or hybrid work. What's your take on that?
09:09I think we should be present. In my field, we should because the body language is everything. You know a person when you are saying them person to person. So I think that's the main thing.
09:21Another student from Amity College. Kaira, thank you so much for speaking with us. We are talking and talking to Zenzi people, getting to know their opinion on what do they think about future of jobs. Which stream you are in Amity College?
09:33I'm doing my masters in clinical psychology from Amity right now. You know 50 to 60% of the jobs are going to get transformed because of AI. What do you have to say about, do you think that AI can be deployed in the world of psychology?
09:48I think AI is just an instrument that helps us do our jobs better. But I don't think it can actually replace us as human beings and replace our empathy in specially my field.
10:01So I don't know about other jobs, but I think it can be used as a very useful tool in my stream to help with the diagnosis. But I don't think it can change psychologists or their jobs or copy our empathy towards our clients.
10:16So maybe they can enhance the knowledge, you being reading from a lot of subjects from AI, but it can't be deployed to help the client.
10:24We have DSMs and ICDs to help us with our diagnosis. So we can use AI to make our diagnosis more proper and more concrete, but I don't think it can help us to streamline the process to which we study the client's symptoms and the client's prognosis.
10:46It can only help us with betterment of our prognosis.
10:50Do you have the integration of AI in your course also?
10:53No, not really. Do you think that it needs to have the...?
10:57As psychologists, we are taught to have a great deal of empathy in our careers and towards our clients and we are taught to be very warm.
11:06And I don't think AI can do that. And if we already have a software in our course, which is known as SPSS, which helps us with our status.
11:15But I don't think AI is anywhere useful as much as they teach it to us as a subject.
11:23A lot of people have been laid off by Amazon and other companies.
11:27I honestly think that there are blessings in disguise and they should take it as that because their resilience is the only thing that can get them through it.
11:38Nothing else. No one else.
11:40And if they want professional help, there are a lot of government helplines and student run helplines, which are free of course, and they should really reach out for help if they need it.
11:51And even from their companies if they need it. Because I think companies have a policy of giving them resources even after they have been laid off if it's on the basis of mental health.
12:03That's what HR's do. That's mainly why they are there. Because when you lay off an employee, it should give them closure.
12:16It should give them pointers on what they did wrong, what they did right, and if it was their fault or not.
12:22What's your name?
12:23Myself, Akrit. I'm from BTEC CSC.
12:26BTEC. So it's going to be a four year course and BTEC is something which will see a lot of use of AI.
12:31Yeah, there is a lot of use of AI and we are also studying MLTA that includes machine learning and sort of things that we are going to learn in this course.
12:40So I think that I can answer some of the questions related to AI.
12:43In your curriculum, is AI integrated? Because I think you'll find a good use of it.
12:48Yeah, AI is integrated, but there is also a specialization course in BTEC that completely focuses on AI and how to become a prompt engineer and how to use AI.
12:58Which semester you are in currently?
13:00I'm currently in third semester.
13:02So this program you already have or is it going to be in the future?
13:06There is a different specialization course. People opt for it differently.
13:10I'm having a core BTEC CSC. So I guess there will be some sort of basic AI training and basic how to train machines and all.
13:18But the specialization course includes a far bit extra things too.
13:22So Agrit, are you open enough to upscale yourself with AI because we are seeing a lot of people losing job because they don't have any skills of artificial intelligence?
13:30Yeah, I guess.
13:32Like the thing is people are losing jobs because AI because they are replacing, the AI is replacing the things that humans are doing.
13:40So they can do, the AI can do it in a far, like something that a person can write a code in two to three hours.
13:48AI can write in five minutes. So the thing is we have to be trained to use AI and help it to advance in our jobs.
13:56Do you know anyone who has lost a job because he or she was not skilled in AI?
14:01I don't think so. I know someone.
14:03Are you concerned that if you don't upgrade yourself for that, you might lose your job?
14:07Yeah, that is a true thing that if we prepare ourselves for the future, then AI surely will replace some of the jobs.
14:13What do you have to request to the Government of India if I may ask you this?
14:17Because a lot of AI courses, they are very expensive and a lot of people are not able to afford these courses.
14:22What do you have to request to the Government of India? What should they do in order to make these courses free or maybe any special program like that you have in your college?
14:31The first thing they should do is teach the elementary, like the 10 to 12 students.
14:37They should also know how to use AI, how AI works, how machines are trained, how we use data to train machines.
14:45So that they form a basic basement for their upcoming courses.
14:50And for the graduate students, I think the Government should do something like include AI to the management courses and commerce courses.
15:02So that they can also have a far bit idea that how they can also use AI to make graphs and help themselves read the market that the Government should do.
15:11And they can also do something that the AI subscriptions, they are very expensive in India.
15:16So they can reduce the prices so that normal people can afford using AI and they can have subscriptions to work better.
15:23So Agarit is basically urging the Government to do field specific courses so that they can deploy their skills accordingly.
15:29Let me talk to another person here.
15:31Agarit, we have already talked about AI and how it's changing the entire job scenario.
15:36But apart from AI, a lot of jobs are also shifting from on-site culture to hybrid culture or remote culture.
15:42Are you in favour of working from home culture?
15:44Yes, for sure.
15:45Why is that?
15:46Because the comfort of home can obviously help, obviously lead to better work experience.
15:52Because when you can use all those amenities, like for example, you don't need the work culture in the office.
15:59Just because you have things like AI, the machine learning and all, which can assist you in doing the job.
16:04So why to actually go there and then waste all your expenditure on fuel?
16:09But don't you think this is going to reduce the human-to-human interaction?
16:14Because in this world where we are facing so many mental health issues, don't you think that we need to have more human touch, human connectivity?
16:20When you do have human connectivity, because the thing is, okay, I believe that if you're an extrovert, you want to interact.
16:28That might be better for those, but you asked me, right?
16:31The thing is that I have people around me which can assist me in doing that.
16:34And especially when you are in the online culture, you obviously meet people, but through different things, right?
16:40You meet them through work culture, you meet them through LinkedIn.
16:43Because in the work culture, you meet people through LinkedIn.
16:47So you can have chats with them right away.
16:50Which stream you are in?
16:51I'm in BTEC CSC.
16:53BTEC.
16:54What do you have to say about AI?
16:56Or are you using for your projects artificial intelligence?
16:59Obviously.
17:00You are using it?
17:01Yeah.
17:02Okay.
17:03So let's hope that the teachers are not listening to this.
17:05Yeah.
17:06How are you deploying this for your projects?
17:08So I might say, when somebody gives us a project, we actually don't use our minds to that, to be honest.
17:17We obviously have to get the job done ASAP.
17:21So we just use our chat GPT.
17:23But the AI is so convenient that it has to be, AI is to be taught according to our needs.
17:30Because when we deploy a code or when we prompt, the thing is that sometimes the code is not running properly or it might use much more advanced knowledge that we haven't even taught about.
17:42We haven't been taught about this.
17:43We have been taught MLTA which is machine learning.
17:46So AI is being used in that we are being taught about it.
17:49And that's completely normal according to what's happening in the culture.
17:53But don't you think that this is going to be detrimental for students because they are not putting the mind to the project and simply making use of AI?
18:00Even if the AI is not being taught to us, we obviously know about it, right?
18:05So like, even if it's an English project, we'll always use AI.
18:09Even if we work in the future, we will use AI.
18:13Because AI is being made, is made, just being like, it's a very convenient thing to do.
18:19So we have to use AI in the future because then we'll completely lag behind.
18:24Because if I put my own human effort, it might take two days or maybe three.
18:30No, I'm not talking about human effort, but at least you need to know the basics of what you're working on and then maybe use AI.
18:36Completely use AI, not like actually let AI do all the job for you.
18:41That's always convenient and in the work culture, you will gain a lot of money, but not the knowledge.
18:46Do you think that once you pass out college, you'll get prospects in jobs?
18:50There will be high chance that there will be layoffs for people who are not well versed with AI.
18:56So how are you looking the next four or five years for yourself?
19:00How do you plan to upgrade your skills?
19:02How to upgrade my skills?
19:04Obviously, I would just love to say that AI is so convenient.
19:08Even if Jio and Airtel are providing free perplexity and maybe all this chat GPT, they're offering it for free.
19:18So their users are obviously using that.
19:22So in the future, you can just expect people to use AI just to gain knowledge.
19:28Maybe it would be difficult for others to actually hire a teacher to teach them.
19:34That would also cost money.
19:36AI is obviously there for you.
19:38So people can actually...
19:40AI can help people who do not have that much financial backing to get tuition or get tutors from outside.
19:46Even if you want to be dependent on it, you can be.
19:49Even if you want to learn, you can be.
19:51It's like you have the choice.
19:52As a human, AI is not using you.
19:55You have to use AI.
19:56What's your name?
19:57Tanisha.
19:58At Tanisha, we are seeing official reports coming out that a majority of the jobs are going to be transformed
20:04or they will become obsolete.
20:06What do you have to say on future of jobs now that we have so much technological advancement, artificial intelligence being used all across platforms?
20:14I don't think there's a future.
20:16Future for jobs at all?
20:18I mean, I don't see it.
20:20What is it that you don't see?
20:23You don't see much use of AI in future?
20:26I see more use of AI in future and I see less job opportunities for unemployed people.
20:33Which stream you are in?
20:35I'm in fashion technology.
20:37Fashion technology.
20:38So this is quite interesting.
20:39I mean, fashion is something where you can definitely make use of AI.
20:43It can give you so many layouts of fashion designs.
20:46Yes.
20:47So have you used it?
20:48Yes, I have.
20:49Which software have you used?
20:51I've been using...
20:56Come on, don't think that you'll be the PR of the company.
20:59Okay, she doesn't want to speak about the software.
21:02But let's face it, I mean, this is one stream where we can definitely make use of AI.
21:06So do you think that there will be jobs which will be cut short because of this?
21:11A lot of people will be laid off?
21:13You think?
21:14Or is it because it's also something which is very creative and not AI softwares can replace it?
21:19I mean, yeah, there are opportunities for us also, but then AI is also in the way.
21:26Like people are using AI more often.
21:30This is quite interesting.
21:31I mean, using AI in creative fields like fashion.
21:34Yeah, it's quite nice only.
21:36I mean, using AI is easy.
21:38With your pencil, you draw something or on the other hand, you have AI which is doing your work.
21:43Which one would you go for?
21:45I think mixture of both.
21:48Mixture of both is something that you'll learn?
21:50Yeah, I think you could get innovative with it.
21:59Okay, so getting innovative with AI, how would you, I mean, with the help of prompts you can get innovative?
22:03Yeah, I mean, you can customize your prompts in some way, I guess.
22:08So I have one more student from the fashion background.
22:11Which year you are in?
22:13I'm in fourth year right now.
22:14I'm doing fashion technology.
22:15That's final year, right?
22:16Yeah.
22:17So in these four years, have you used artificial intelligence to help you in designing fashion stuff?
22:23Yeah, we use softwares like CAD, Photoshop.
22:27We do it like, we do things on computer.
22:31Has it changed drastically?
22:32I mean, how much percentage of these softwares were you using before and after the emergence of AI?
22:37Oh, I don't, in my course there is no such, I mean, I don't use much software.
22:44So I don't know about that too much.
22:47But yeah, there is a huge, huge turnover in like, in AI.
22:51It's making use.
22:53Yeah, we are making use of it.
22:54But what is your opinion in terms of deploying artificial intelligence in creative fields?
23:00For example, one is fashion, another is writing.
23:03Writing a novel maybe.
23:04Do you think that it is good?
23:06It is ethical?
23:07Yeah, it is good somewhere.
23:09Because as like, the world is changing so much, technology is all going all around the world and everything.
23:16It is good somewhere and also it is bad somewhere.
23:20There is a disadvantage and an advantage in both of the side.
23:23And also, I mean, it will be a development if we have a creative thing and technology together.
23:32It's a development for every field, I guess.
23:34I feel like that.
23:35But don't you think this will have a great impact on the people who are actually producing really good work without AI?
23:42Yeah, I think it's totally a choice.
23:45I feel that if anyone wants to do my stuff and I want to do it by hand, by genuinely from hand, it is their choice.
23:55AI is a choice, man.
23:56You can choose it or not.
23:57It's all yours.
23:58You have to choose it or not.
23:59It depends on you.
24:00And it makes work easy and also good.
24:01AI is not just about a software that you have to use.
24:02It grows you.
24:03It grows your work.
24:04It enhances your work and many more things.
24:05Do you think AI because of job prospects will be hindered in fashion especially?
24:22I don't think so.
24:24Don't you think that MNCs will now deploy these AI softwares rather than hiring humans with creative intellect?
24:30I mean, softwares also require humans.
24:33But you will need less number of humans in that case.
24:36Yeah, I guess I feel like.
24:39But, great.
24:41So basically, all in all, you need to have a balanced approach.
24:44Yeah.
24:45There should be a balance in both of them.
24:4650-50, I would say.
24:47What's your name?
24:48Seher.
24:49Seher, now we are seeing that artificial intelligence is taking away a lot of jobs.
24:54Are you concerned about it?
24:55Yes, I'm concerned.
24:56I feel psychology.
24:57So, I've seen people who are very reliable.
25:01I've seen people who are very reliable.
25:03If anything happens, they do charity.
25:06Are you talking about fellow psychologists?
25:08Or are you talking about your clients?
25:09Or maybe people who are actually facing them?
25:10No, no, no. Fellow psychologists.
25:11So, yes, there's a little dependency developed.
25:13So, I don't want people to talk about charity.
25:16But it's also happening on the other side.
25:18Clients, I mean people who are facing mental health issues are also talking about them.
25:21Everybody is talking.
25:22Everybody is talking.
25:23So, I'm saying that there will be a lot of dependency.
25:25So, what am I doing?
25:27But that is from the job aspect.
25:29But what do you have to say?
25:30The ethical side of it.
25:31I think that if it makes you feel better, then there will be a lot of dependency.
25:37Like human interaction?
25:38Yeah.
25:39Yeah.
25:40Human interaction is important.
25:41Obviously, it's a machine.
25:43That's right.
25:44People who are actually…
25:45I don't think that people are concerned as much as they are.
25:48But yes.
25:49It is an issue.
25:50But what about other sectors?
25:52For example, if you don't talk about psychology, any other field?
25:55We are seeing a lot of layoffs happening because of AI.
25:57Yes.
25:58A lot of people doing presentations.
25:59We have stopped using softwares.
26:00So, we have seen the chat.
26:01We have said, do this for me.
26:03That's what they do.
26:04So, yes.
26:05People have forgotten to work.
26:07Gauri, what do you think is going to be the future of jobs?
26:11Now, we are seeing technological advancements.
26:13A lot of people are making use of AI.
26:15I personally feel like that a lot of typing jobs and stuff like that where you had to encrypt
26:22stuff and a lot of other types of jobs are going to decline.
26:27But I feel nothing can quite match the human touch in many things.
26:31And I feel like, yeah, though AI is going to eat many jobs, but it's going to create much
26:36more.
26:37So, I feel like it's not that big of a concern.
26:40But yeah, in our field, it is a bit dangerous.
26:43I mean, I feel like surely it's going to affect our work culture and everything.
26:49And although it has made a lot of things efficient, recently we have also seen a lot of people
26:54are getting fired from their jobs and stuff because AI is doing jobs for much, you know,
27:00lesser amount.
27:01You don't need to hire another person to do these jobs.
27:04And even people in workforce currently, they're using AI to make their work a lot easier.
27:11So, I feel like that is going to be a problem in the future.
27:14And I feel like it's a problem currently as well.
27:17Where people are working from?
27:18A lot of jobs have been shifted from on-site locations to remote and hybrid culture.
27:23What are you for and against?
27:24I think that is good because it creates a work-life balance.
27:28Like, you can travel a lot and you can look at the world around you.
27:33You are not confined into a 4x4 office and you don't have to go and you have to punch in your face
27:39and do stuff like that.
27:40So, remote jobs are a really good thing in my perspective.
27:44And I feel like if the work is being done, you really don't need to come to office.
27:49And I feel like I'm pro all the way.
27:53I do work and I feel like I am to work the way to do it, because I don't have to work for that.
28:00I feel like it's an actual event.
28:02I feel like I am doing a way traditional life.
28:03That's how I것 doing.
28:04It's time to not describe like
