Graduates Preparedness towards learning Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence for employability-An Empirical Study

Change is the rule of world and is inevitable. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is the need for the day. The word Robotics is often associated with the image of a machine on an assembly line tightening the screw or spray painting, but the reality is different. Artificial intelligence embedded with Robotics Process Automation can assist in massive gathering, processing and analyzing data enabling to continuously learn and improvise. This in turn will lead to reduced cost, increased efficiency and slash error rates. RPA is a computer software which is configured to perform repetitive and deterministic tasks or processes, where as Smart Robotics can deliver greater value along with Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning. When the companies are trying to adapt these, is our education system up to the mark in producing the graduates with these required technical skills. Nature of the jobs will change with RPA. Are our young graduates aware of these technology? Did our education system adopt these technological advancements like RPA, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in their curriculum? What is the perception of young graduates about RPA and Artificial Intelligence? This paper attempts to address these questions along with their employability in the current scenario of AI implementation across jobs.
