AI education vital to overcome AI-related job loss fears, says Digit Survey

Digit, India's leading personal technology media brand, has published the findings of an innovative survey exploring the country's attitudes and reactions to the rapid pace of AI growth and its potential impact. The analysis done by the Digit Research Lab aimed to evaluate India's general sentiment and response to the potential effects of AI related to employment and education sector.

The survey, which polled 3,050 participants from 24th March 2023 to 10th April 2023, revealed that 59% of Indians view AI as a mix of opportunities and threats, with 11% considering it a significant threat that could result in job displacement and increased competition. Students perceive the threat level even higher at 40%, as opposed to working professionals at 36%, according to Digit's findings.

"The results of Digit's survey highlight the critical role that AI is set to play in shaping India's future and the importance of equipping our workforce and students with the necessary skills to succeed in an increasingly AI-driven world. Although there are concerns about the potential risks of AI, the opportunities for growth and innovation are enormous. Digit is thrilled to demonstrate the power of AI tools such as ChatGPT by creating an entire issue of our magazine using this cutting-edge technology. We are excited to witness how AI will continue to transform the way we work and learn," says Vikas Gupta, Founder, and Director of 9.9 Group.

India believes AI literacy is crucial for future

The Digit survey also disclosed that 67% of the respondents had a high familiarity with generative tools like ChatGPT. Meanwhile, 23% reported moderate familiarity, and a mere 10% indicated no familiarity. The study also determined that 75% of respondents believed their career growth would be hindered if they did not acquire knowledge in AI, machine learning, and related fields.

On an optimistic note, 62% of Indians acknowledge the substantial role of AI in personalized and expedited learning processes via targeted feedback. The survey also discovered that respondents believe the Indian education system should give priority to developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills (54%), building strong digital literacy foundations (49%), incorporating AI-related subjects in the curriculum (46%), and promoting interdisciplinary learning to foster adaptability (30%) to better equip students for a future with AI.

Digit Magazine even demonstrated the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT and generative AI art in the publishing sector with a special April 2023 "Written By AI" issue, which included cover stories, relevant features, letters to the editor, gadget reviews, and all other customary sections of the regular.

"Digit's research has produced compelling observations. Despite the concerns about job loss due to the growth of AI, the majority of the survey respondents have expressed a keen interest in learning more about AI to enhance their career prospects and professional development. This trend is not limited to students alone but also observed among professionals who want to make informed decisions, improve their skills, and advance their careers using AI. It will be fascinating to observe the overall impact of AI on the Indian job market as this technology continues to evolve”, says Ms. Shambhavi Sinha, Lead Analyst at Digit Research Labs.

Digit's survey offers valuable insights into India's reaction to the AI revolution and emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive strategy to address both opportunities and threats in the swiftly evolving landscape.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Review: Flaw in the Machine

On the whole, Burning Shores seems to be a meaty package, with a fresh chunk of islands to explore, secrets to uncover, and favours to complete for your friends, but the main questline itself remains a lean affair. This could be good or bad, depending on how much mileage one wants out of their DLC.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 renders again corroborate the massive cover screen rumour

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 could feature a big cover screen. This is something we have heard before and even seen in some obscure renders. However, the new set of Z Flip 5 renders by OnLeaks via MediaPeanut retells the same story. Let’s peer through and learn more about the phone, based on related leaks and rumours.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 design (As per the renders)

First things first, that cover screen! It looks not only big in comparison to the Z Flip 4’s outer panel but is also uneven in shape. Samsung has kept the camera rings outside the cover screen and to facilitate this, the shape is asymmetrical.  

Let’s talk numbers now.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 specs and features (Expected)

The report suggests a 3.4-inch display on the outside. The inner display, meanwhile, could stretch 6.7 inches diagonally. The dimensions of the phone could be 165mm x 71.8mm x 6.7mm (whence unfolded).

Besides these on the design and display front, the phone is expected to bring an improved hinge, Gorilla Glass Victus protection, an IP67 ingress protection rating, and an Armour frame.

Inside, the Samsung foldable could carry Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and perhaps, better or larger battery life.

This time around, the Z Flip and Z Fold phones are expected to come out earlier than usual, i.e., by late July. Let’s see.

As for its companion, here’s what we expect and know so far:

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 renders and specs (Expected)

OnLeaks and Smartprix have partnered again to bring us the Z Fold 5 renders. The reported dimensions are 154.9mm x 129.9mm x 6.3mm (in the folded state) and 154.9mm x 67.1mm x 13.5mm (in the unfolded state).

When it is folded, there seems to be no gap. This could be because of a waterdrop-like hinge mechanism. This could also benefit in a lesser crease as well.

The Z Fold 5 could also feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and some incremental improvements.

That’s about what we know for now. But, do take them with a pinch of salt until officially confirmed.
