Digital Futures Lab and Youth Ki Awaaz, supported by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, invite young adults from across India to share their stories about the future of work in an India shaped by artificial intelligence.
The initiative invites stories set in the future, near or far, exploring how work is found, done, valued, lost, refused, or reinvented in a world increasingly shaped by AI and technology.
Who Can Apply?
Young adults aged 18–29 from across India are invited to submit their stories.
First-time writers are welcome.
You do not need to be an established writer to participate.
What Kind of Stories Are Invited?
Stories can draw on your own life and experiences, pushed forward in time, or on work you observe around you.
Possible story themes include:
- Being scored or evaluated by a machine
- Freelancing against AI that can perform the work of several people
- A parent's job being transformed by technology
- A local shop changing because of AI
- A delivery rider affected by technology
- A security guard's work being transformed by automation
- How people find and perform work in an AI-driven future
- How technology changes the value of human labour
- Work being lost, refused or reinvented because of AI
Participants are encouraged to use their experiences or observations as the basis for their story, rather than making general statements about AI.
