· Business · Moneycontrol
Chief Economic Advisor V. Anantha Nageswaran has warned that the rapid adoption of AI is removing entry-level tasks that traditionally serve as training grounds for future managers. He noted that these junior roles are essential for employees to gain foundational experience and professional development. By automating these processes, companies risk creating a leadership vacuum where staff lack the practical expertise required for senior roles. Nageswaran suggested that businesses must find new ways to mentor employees and build management skills in an AI-driven environment. The exact strategy for mitigating this loss of hands-on training remains a subject of debate among industry leaders.
