India's young workers have a new colleague: AI
Artificial intelligence is changing the way Indian workplaces operate, raising questions about productivity, skills and entry-level jobs.
In India, young workers are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline routine tasks such as researching news stories, translating content, analyzing business data, and organizing legal documents. However, the technology is not infallible and relying on it excessively may pose risks. Journalist Farah Kazmi, 28, of a New Delhi news portal, leveraged AI while reporting on stray animal regulations in gated communities.
Kazmi queried an AI model to locate the Supreme Court's current guidelines, prior court rulings, and recent dog-bite cases. The AI provided her with a starting point for pertinent articles and cases, which she subsequently reviewed and verified herself. Kazmi also employs AI to translate English copy into Hindi for her Hindi news team and vice versa.
However, she cautions that translations necessitate careful scrutiny, citing an instance where AI misinterpreted the name "Suraj" as "sun," altering the sentence's meaning. Despite AI's role in expediting research and reducing time spent on repetitive tasks, journalist Farah Kazmi emphasizes that verification and reporting still hinge on human expertise.
