This study investigates the perceptions of Generation Z (Gen-Z) in Ahmedabad regarding the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on employment. As AI continues to reshape industries and job markets, understanding how the younger workforce views its implications is essential for preparing them for the evolving labor landscape. Data were collected through surveys examining various factors such as familiarity with AI, concerns about job displacement, willingness to upskill, and perceptions of AI’s role in future job creation. The study finds that Gen-Z is generally familiar with AI and views it with a mix of optimism and concern. While there is significant worry about job displacement due to automation, respondents also believe that AI can create new job opportunities. Additionally, the research highlights that educational institutions may not be adequately preparing students for an AI-integrated workforce, pointing to a need for curriculum reform. The study further reveals that Gen-Z is willing to upskill to stay relevant in an AI-driven job market, though there is little consensus on how to best achieve this. The findings have practical implications for policymakers, educators, and businesses, urging them to focus on AI literacy, upskilling programs, and the integration of AI-related content in education. Future research should explore generational differences in perceptions of AI, sector-specific impacts, and the development of effective workforce training strategies.
