IIT Madras Study Highlights AI Risks to Entry-Level Employment

A whitepaper from IIT Madras indicates that AI adoption creates uneven costs, disproportionately threatening entry-level career pipelines and job stability.

The study warns that large firms integrate AI more easily than MSMEs, while noting that Indian-language AI models still struggle with nuanced, code-switched conversations.

Researchers suggest that firms may need to redesign junior roles to focus on supervising AI, though it remains unclear if companies will pursue this or reduce hiring.
