7 in 10 professionals expect job roles to change due to AI: Report

A new report reveals 71% of professionals expect major role changes due to AI, highlighting a critical gap in organizational training and employee trust.

"71 per cent of professionals believe their roles and responsibilities will change significantly over the next two to three years - Genius HRTech & Digipoll Report"

New Delhi, Jan 18

Artificial Intelligence is being adopted at workplaces much faster than companies are training their employees, with many professionals expecting major changes in their job roles in the coming years, according to a new report.

The study, conducted by Genius HRTech in association with Digipoll, found that 71 per cent of professionals believe their roles and responsibilities will change significantly over the next two to three years as AI tools and new workflows become common.

The report is based on an online survey of 1,704 professionals from different sectors, carried out in November 2025.

It highlights a clear gap between the fast pace of AI adoption and the lack of proper training provided by organisations.

According to the findings, 61 per cent of respondents said their companies have not given them adequate guidance on how to use AI effectively.

Only 37 per cent said they had received proper training. This lack of structured support is shaping how employees view AI adoption in their workplaces.

The report said 55 per cent of professionals feel AI is being adopted out of necessity, while 37 per cent believe it is driven more by trends than actual business needs.

This suggests that many organisations are pushing AI tools without fully preparing their workforce.

Despite these concerns, AI use is already widespread. About 67 per cent of respondents said they have started using AI tools to simplify or automate their daily tasks, showing how quickly the technology is becoming part of routine work.

The experience, however, has been mixed. While 69 per cent said AI has made their work processes easier, 25 per cent felt it has added complexity.

This indicates that although AI reduces repetitive work, it can also create new challenges for some employees.

Trust in AI remains another major issue. Only 49 per cent of professionals said they trust AI-generated insights without manually checking them.

Around 36 per cent said they do not trust such insights at all, while 15 per cent said their level of trust depends on the task, the report said.

As a content writer, I've already seen my role change. I now use AI for research and first drafts, but the human touch for nuance and cultural context is irreplaceable. Companies need to stop seeing AI as a replacement and start seeing it as a powerful assistant. The training gap is worrying though.

The trust issue is huge! I work in data analysis. My manager wants reports from an AI tool, but I have to spend hours verifying every figure because sometimes it hallucinates data. Where's the efficiency if I'm just doing double work? 🤦‍♂️ Proper training on how to validate outputs is a must.

Working for an MNC in Bangalore, I see this trend of adopting AI for the sake of it. The report is spot on—it often feels like a trend chase. Instead of forcing tools on everyone, companies should identify specific pain points AI can solve and then train teams thoroughly. Quality over speed, please.

This is a wake-up call for all professionals, especially in India. We can't just rely on our degrees anymore. We have to take charge of our own learning. I've started doing online courses on AI tools relevant to my field (marketing). Can't wait for the company to train me. 🚀

My experience has been positive. AI handles my repetitive Excel reports, freeing me up for more strategic work. But I agree with the article—this shift happened organically in my team, with no formal training from HR. Companies need structured programs, not just access to the software.
