Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is one of the most used and efficient technologies in the world right now. When harnessed effectively, AI has the potential to address global challenges, aligning with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In this study, I am exploring the career opportunities for AI engineers in India, encompassing opportunities within both corporate entities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) committed to advancing sustainable development. It further analyzes the specific skills required to join as an AI Engineer in these organizations. As a part of this study, I also conducted a survey among engineering students to know their interest and understanding of AI in the context of sustainability. In addition, the study investigates the curricular offerings of AI programs in Indian educational institutions, assessing the extent to which they prepare students for the demands of the industry, with a particular focus on the inclusion of sustainability-related content.
