IT jobs: Traditional employment dying, here's how AI and machine learning can revolutionise segment

We've all heard and read enough--if not actually seen the impact in our day-to-day lives--to figure out that artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the world as we know it.

The late 1990s to early 2000s was the age of the Indian IT sector, which gave rise to an empowered Indian middle class. The IT movement brought the country recognition for identifying and grabbing a global opportunity just by keeping up with industry trends. The sector employs almost 4 million people directly and indirectly. However, of late, the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution has hit, leaving data and digital-enabled start-ups, young companies and rebooted traditional organisations in its wake.
