Karnataka will focus on preparing its youth for the rapid changes in the world of work, particularly those triggered by Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies, Medical Education and Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood Minister Dr. Sharanprakash Patil said on Wednesday.

Addressing a press conference at the Vikasa Soudha, Bengaluru, Dr. Patil said the State’s skilling efforts would have to keep pace with changing industry requirements and ensure that young people acquire skills relevant to future employment. The second edition of the Bengaluru Skill Summit, scheduled from November 3 to 5 at The Lalit Ashok, Bengaluru, will provide a platform to strengthen this effort.

“AI and new technologies are changing the skills landscape rapidly. Preparing our youth for these changes and building a future-ready workforce is an important responsibility of the government,” the Minister said.
