The discussion is old and yet relevant. Will AI take over our jobs? Every day, the news seems to prove the point right. TCS laid off 12000+ employees (On July 27), and 15000+ were laid off by Microsoft (until August 2025), both citing AI as the reason. Some even reported anxiety and depression after being laid off, while others may be on the edge of being laid off. All these arguments paint a negative angle of AI. However, RPG Group Chairperson Harsh Goenka is starting a new conversation, and something you may want to know. AI is creating new jobs.
RPG Group Chairperson Harsh Goenka, on August 5, shared his viewpoints about AI on the platform ‘X.’
He wrote, “Everyone asks: “Will AI take my job? What new jobs is AI creating?” AI will disrupt work & reinvent it. There will be new jobs like Prompt engineers, AI product managers, AI ethics specialists & workplace landscape will change. New winners will be the smartest & most adaptable.”
The post garnered 16400 Views and around 50 people shared their thoughts. And here we outline the roles and their scope for the future.
Prompt Engineering
Prompt Engineering is the role that looks after the designing and writing of compelling prompts for LLMs like ChatGPT and GPT-3. According to Grand View Research, the Prompt Engineering market is growing at a 32.8% CAGR and is expected to go up $2.06 billion by 2030 (globally).
And according to Glassdoor, the salary for a Prompt Engineer starts at 4 LPA and can go up to 30 LPA and more in India.
AI Product Manager
AI product managers are responsible for producing AI-powered products. Unlike conventional product managers, AI PMs work closely with data pipelines and machine learning models.
Recently, several job hunt platforms like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and Indeed have seen a significant hike in AI Project Manager job postings.
Glassdoor projects the basic salary for an AI Project Manager at 14 LPA, and can reach 27 LPA or higher in India.
AI Ethics Specialists
The rapid expansion of AI brings ethical dilemmas, data privacy, transparency, and accountability concerns. Even the governments are bringing in laws to monitor AI, such as the EU’s AI Act and the U.S.’s AI Bill of Rights. Therefore, an AI Ethics Specialist becomes an AI police.
According to Glassdoor, the base pay for AI Ethics Specialists is 13.5 LPA in India. All of the above roles are excellent options to upskill to stay ahead in this AI era.
A Few Final Thoughts…
In a recent survey done by India Today, approximately 70% of participants reported benefiting from upskilling, and 72% found better career paths. There can be no better time than now to put a step forward and upskill with AI, so the conversations turn from layoffs to good pay.
