AI-Driven Transformation in India’s Education and Employment Sectors: Evidence from a Quantitative Study

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models such as ChatGPT, is increasingly reshaping education and employment worldwide. This study examines the impact of AI on learning experiences, skill development, administrative efficiency, and employment readiness in India. Using a quantitative design, data were collected through an online survey of 150 participants, including teachers, students, and government employees. Analysis using IBM SPSS revealed excellent reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.913). Regression results showed a moderate to strong positive relationship between AI integration and learning and employment outcomes (R = 0.651, R² = 0.423, p < .001). Descriptive findings showed strong agreement that AI improves administrative efficiency and instructional support (Mean = 4.17) and enhances career guidance and skill development (Mean = 4.07). AI-enabled personalization received a comparatively lower mean score (Mean = 3.81), reflecting concerns related to access and digital literacy. Overall, the findings confirm AI’s transformative role in India’s education and employment sectors, while emphasizing the need for ethical governance, digital equity, and humancentered implementation.
