Global study with Woxsen University says AI may impact one in three jobs

Hyderabad: As India prepares for large-scale workforce shifts driven by artificial intelligence, a new global study indicates that nearly one in three jobs could see over 50% of tasks augmented by Generative AI, signalling a structural transformation in how work is performed.

While the research focuses on workforce trends in Minnesota, USA, its implications are highly relevant for India’s vast and rapidly evolving job market, where similar patterns of AI-driven task transformation are expected to emerge across sectors in the coming years.

The study conducted in collaboration with researchers from the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, and North Star Policy Action, examines the impact of Generative AI on the job market. The AI Research Centre (AIRC) at Woxsen University played a key role in the initiative, contributing both to the research and the development of a GenAI Job Intelligence Dashboard.

A key outcome of the collaboration is the GenAI Job Intelligence Dashboard, designed to transform complex workforce data into actionable, real-time insights for industry and policymakers. The dashboard was developed under the guidance of Dr. Manjeet Rege and Dr. Hemachandran K, Director – AI Research Centre, Woxsen University.

The platform enables identification of high-exposure roles and emerging job categories, tracking of evolving skill demands, smarter hiring and workforce planning decisions, and benchmarking of talent trends across industries.

By moving beyond static research, the dashboard reflects a growing shift towards data-driven decision-making in talent strategy, particularly as organizations navigate AI integration.

The findings reinforce a critical narrative that AI exposure does not equate to job loss, but rather signals a transition where tasks are redefined, workflows are augmented, and new roles are created.

“The real disruption is not job loss, but task transformation. Organizations and institutions that fail to adapt to AI-led skill shifts risk falling behind faster than industries themselves,” said Dr. Hemachandran K, Director, AI Research Centre, Woxsen University.

The initiative also highlights the evolving role of academic institutions in preparing future-ready talent. Faculty members, researchers, and MBA students at Woxsen University actively contributed to building the dashboard, working with real-world datasets and global research inputs.

This hands-on approach underscores the importance of experiential learning, where students engage directly with emerging technologies and industry challenges.

As businesses increasingly adopt AI-led tools and processes, the need for reskilling, workforce planning, and curriculum alignment becomes urgent. Tools like the GenAI Dashboard offer a glimpse into how organizations and institutions can proactively respond to these shifts.

The study also calls for responsible AI adoption, including governance frameworks and a balanced approach that aligns innovation with workforce welfare.
