Amid the global hysteria that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will lead to mass unemployment, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has offered a much-needed perspective of hope. Rajan argues that technological shifts, like the Industrial Revolution or the rise of the internet, have historically increased human productivity rather than destroying jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2028 Fear and Reality Check<\/strong> Addressing concerns about reports predicting massive job losses by 2028, Rajan noted that technology adoption is a gradual process. He cited the example of automated telephone exchanges, which took decades to fully phase out human operators. According to Rajan, while AI is evolving rapidly, real-world integration across industries will take time, giving workers a crucial window to adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adaptation is the Key to Survival<\/strong> Rajan\u2019s central advice is simple: don’t become a slave to technology; learn to use it as a tool. He emphasized that the fear of losing work by 2028 can be mitigated through “reskilling.” Instead of routine tasks, humans will focus on higher-value, creative, and personalized roles that AI cannot replicate. Rajan hopes that instead of being intimidated, people will invest in education and skills to stay ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amid the global hysteria that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will lead to mass unemployment, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has offered a much-needed perspective of hope.
