AI Literacy and the Future of Work in India

About this episode

The episode discusses AI literacy and its implications for the future of work in India, featuring insights from Jaspreet Bindra.

In this episode of Interpreting India, Adarsh Ranjan, research analyst at Carnegie India, speaks with Jaspreet Bindra, founder of AI&Beyond and Tech Whisperer Limited, UK, and author of 'Winning with AI: Your Guide to AI Literacy.' Jaspreet brings a practitioner's perspective to questions that often get lost in the noise around AI: not just what is changing, but whether people, organizations, and policymakers are actually prepared for it. This episode explores: Is India's enthusiasm for AI actually translating into adoption on the ground, and which sectors are seeing real change? Is AI destroying jobs or transforming them, and what does that mean for a country whose economy was built on knowledge work and software services? What is AI literacy, why is it different from training, and why does Jaspreet think it is the most underappreciated variable in the AI policy debate? On deepfakes and copyright, are India's existing frameworks anywhere close to adequate?
