By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Classify their current work using the Automate/Augment/Elevate framework, identifying which tasks face highest transformation pressure

3. Analyse GenAI's role in electoral processes with specific reference to the 2024 Indian elections—deepfakes, voice cloning, platform responses, and regulatory gaps

4. Map career pathways at the GenAI-policy intersection across government (₹8-40 LPA), Big Tech (₹18-100+ LPA), think tanks (₹6-25 LPA), and consulting (₹21-80+ LPA)
