Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says ‘AI is really in the air now’ and is planning to train 2 million Gen Z in India with tech skills::Microsoft says 90% of Indian leaders need workers prepared for the rise of AI—but 78% of workers say they don’t have the right knowledge.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Of Indian workers, about 61% also said adopting green skills, or technical knowledge that supports environmentally sustainable decisions, is imperative in today’s workforce, compared with just 39% of global respondents.
The training will also employ 5,000 instructors at higher education institutions to teach 100,000 women in rural areas and cities that don’t have massive populations like Delhi and Mumbai.
India’s desire to rise as an economic superpower is hindered by many things, but one important factor is the difference in wealth between the country’s urbanites and rural villagers.
Villages also tend to be riddled with caste associations and societal rules on occupations that can keep people locked into jobs as carpenters, barbers, weavers, potters, or sweepers with few other options.
People in these areas face economic deprivation, like few banking or investment resources, and social neglect that continues to slow India’s progress as a formidable subcontinent.
AI could also revolutionize early disease diagnosis for rural Indians by filling in a critical gap where people can’t access or afford diagnostic facilities.
