The signal

Regulation is coming. The jobs are already here.

In October 2026, India's Minister of Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, said the government will release a consultation paper on AI regulation, and that AI risks have reached the point where a law is needed.

Regulation creates demand for people who can run AI risk assessments, map controls to frameworks like the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001, and give boards confidence that AI is under control. Banks, technology firms and consultancies are already hiring for these skills.
