The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industrial operations is transforming traditional work environments across India, particularly in labor-intensive sectors like the sugar industry. As sugar factories adopt AI technologies to improve productivity, streamline processes, and enhance workplace safety, the implications for the workforce are complex and far-reaching. This study explores the influence of AI adoption on employees in the sugar industry, with a specific focus on Bidar Kissan Shakkar Karkhana Ltd. in Karnataka. Key areas examined include changes in job roles, skill requirements, workplace monitoring, psychological well-being, and ethical considerations. Drawing from both literature and primary field data, the paper presents a case-based analysis of how AI-driven automation is reshaping employee experiences and outlines recommendations to support a more inclusive and sustainable technological transition.
