CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu has a five- to seven-year window to prepare its workforce for the artificial intelligence (AI) era, failing which the state risks losing a major economic opportunity, the State Planning Commission (SPC) has stated.
The SPC’s report titled, ‘Tamil Nadu: AI & Future Workforce–Preparing Every Level of the Workforce for the Age of Artificial Intelligence’ cautions that with the state’s total fertility rate already at 1.3 and 14% of the population above 60, the current demographic advantage will begin to shrink soon.
