GenAI may help Indian workers save 51 million hours a week by 2026: Pearson study
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has the potential to help Indian workers save 51 million hours a week by 2026, a study by learning company Pearson has said.
Generative AI can boost workplace productivity by helping workers deal with their routine and repetitive tasks that often take up their day and lead to burnout, according to the latest instalment of Pearson’s Skills Outlook series, ‘Reclaim the Clock: How Generative AI Can Power People at Work’.
The study identifies top 10 job tasks with the most time saved by using GenAI across five countries – Australia, Brazil, India, the UK and the US – by 2026.
The top five work tasks with the most hours saved by GenAI by 2026 in India, as per the study, are: promoting products, services, or programmes (4,386,799 hours); collecting data about consumer needs or opinions (3,874,794 hours); developing marketing or promotional materials (3,513,913 hours); identifying business or organisational opportunities (3,219,578 hours) and explaining technical details of products or services (3,095,700 hours).
Other tasks where considerable time can be saved using GenAI include maintaining current knowledge in area of expertise; maintaining operational records; communicating with others about operational plans or activities; examining materials or documentation for accuracy or compliance; and evaluating the quality or accuracy of data.
