A new study by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) and OpenAI has sought to downplay fears over large-scale labour market disruptions from Artificial Intelligence, saying generative AI is currently not causing mass layoffs but is reshaping how work is organised, raising productivity and transforming roles.
The conclusions draw from survey of 650 IT firms across 10 cities (conducted between November 2025 and January 2026), analysing shifts in hiring patterns, occupational demand, productivity outcomes, and workforce skilling.
According to the study conducted by ICRIER, and supported by OpenAI, evidence from firms suggests AI is amplifying output and elevating skilled experts, and not triggering mass lay-offs.
Titled ‘AI and Jobs: This time is no different’, the study found that generative AI is currently not causing mass job displacement but is reshaping how work is organised, raising productivity and transforming roles.
