Education system
Indian families are spending lakhs on engineering and management degrees, but AI tools are now doing entry-level coding and analysis work that freshers used to do. Recruiters are saying they care more about practical AI skills than the university name on the paper. This has parents panicking: if a 20-year-old can learn Python and prompt engineering in six months, is a four-year college education just an expensive delay before getting a job?
AI is increasingly being used to support or make decisions in areas such as healthcare, recruitment, finance, and public services. NIST notes that human roles and responsibilities in AI-assisted decision-making need to be clearly defined, while the EU AI Act requires appropriate human oversight for high-risk AI systems, including the ability to override or stop the system. But is human approval always necessary—or should we trust AI to make some important decisions autonomously?
