New Delhi: Leaders in the Human Resource industry in India expect adoption of agentic AI to grow by 383 per cent by 2027, according to a report on Monday.Agentic AI is defined as the technology that powers AI agents so they can act autonomously without human oversight.The report, by American cloud-based software company Salesforce based on a survey of 200 global human resource executives, reveals that digital labour isn't just a trend -- it's a business strategy revolution.Over the next two years, they expect AI agent adoption to jump 383 per cent leading to a productivity gain of 41.7 per cent.The findings reveal that Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) in India expect to redeploy nearly a quarter (24.7 per cent) of their workforce as their organisations implement and embrace digital labor With 88 per cent of HR chiefs planning to reskill their workers to be more competitive in a market shaped by AI agents, the study highlighted a growing focus on AI reskilling programmes.Most of these leaders (81 per cent) also agree that soft skills like relationship-building and collaboration will be even more critical as humans work alongside agents.And yet, 88 per cent say their organisations have yet to implement agentic AI and 63 per cent said employees don't yet understand how digital labour will impact their work.As agentic AI reshapes the workplace -- and the skills workers need to succeed -- understanding how HR leaders are ensuring organisational resilience is critically important."We're in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime transformation of work with digital labour that is unlocking new levels of productivity, autonomy, and agency at a speed never before thought possible," said Nathalie Scardino, President and Chief People Officer at Salesforce."Every industry must redesign jobs, reskill, and redeploy talent -- and every employee will need to learn new human, agent, and business skills to thrive in the digital labour revolution," Scardino said.Key insights from the research show that HR leaders in India believe digital labour is the future and its integration is critical to their role. About 85 per cent believe that within five years, most workforces will have humans and AI agents/digital labour working together.Despite the urgency of digital labour, many Indian HR chiefs are still in the early planning phases of preparing their workforce. Just 12 per cent of Indian CHROs say their organisation has fully implemented agentic AI. More than 60 per cent of Indian HR chiefs say their employees remain unaware of how AI agents will impact their work.With 88 per cent of businesses yet to embrace agentic AI, CHROs in India direct near-term efforts toward AI implementation -- including IT and research and development.

New Delhi: Lawyers from the district courts decided on Saturday to roll back their decision to abstain from work in protest against the shifting of the judges of the 34 digital Negotiable Instruments Act courts to the Rouse Avenue courts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A statement released by the All District Courts Bar Association of Delhi on Saturday said that the lawyers' coordination committee met the chief justice of and was assured that all digital courts would function strictly as digital platforms only. The remaining proceedings and judicial work only would be conducted in the regular local courts, the statement said. "Necessary directions are being issued to all presiding officers instructing them not to insist on the physical appearance of any stakeholders, including parties, counsel, police officers, etc, in c+ourt," the statement added. On May 30, high court chief justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya inaugurated the 34 digital courts at the Rouse Avenue Courts complex to hear cases under the NI Act. Only judges of these courts will operate from Rouse Avenue, while the staff —readers, ahlmads and stenographers — will operate from their respective districts. The association on Friday, June 6 decided to abstain from work opposing the decision of shiftingthecourts. The digital courts deal with cases related to cheque bounces across six court complexes. The Lok Sabha was informed by the Union law minister in Dec 2024 that Delhi ranked fourth among top five Indian states with regard to NI Act cases and has 4.5 lakh pending cases. A judge in a NI Act court, on average, holds 80 hearings every day. According to the National Judicial Data Grid, until June 7, there were 15.1 lakh cases, of which 31% were cheque bounce cases. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Last year, advocate Jagriti Jain filed a public interest litigation, highlighting administrative lapses in the digital NI Act court in North district. The petition pointed out the huge pendency of cases as well as connectivity problems of the portal used for digital hearings. In April 2024, a division bench comprising then acting chief justice Manmohan and justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora directed steps to be taken to address the issue of digital connectivity and network problems. On May 22 this year, the bench disposed of the Jain's PIL, noting that connectivity issues had been resolved after the registrar general of the high court submitted a report on May 9 outlining the remedial measures taken. A second digital NI Act court was established in the North district and all pending matters were evenly distributed between the two courts. Advocate Parthesh Bhardwaj, who appeared for Jain, told TOI, "As of June, with multiple functioning courts, better cause list management and strengthened technical infrastructure, the average time between hearings at digital NI Act courts in all districts has significantly reduced."
