Key Findings & White Paper Highlights

1. The AI Tsunami & Urgency

• Pre-AGI to AGI: Within the next 36 months, AI is projected to evolve from narrow applications to near-human-level intelligence, endangering routine jobs.
• Global Tsunami: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Economic Forum (WEF) warn that 40% of jobs could be disrupted or transformed, creating an urgent 3-year window for action.

2. India’s Skill Gap Crisis

• 4.7% Formal Training: India’s workforce lags far behind industrialized nations.
• 1 Million New Entrants Monthly: Demographic pressures compound skill shortages, especially with 400 million training targets unmet under Skill India.

3. EON Reality’s Technological Edge

• Immersive AR/VR Library: Over 36 million 3D assets support hands-on, real-time learning—covering welding, nursing, AI coding, and more.
• 275% Increase in Retention: Immersive simulations can yield dramatically faster skill acquisition compared to traditional methods.
• AI Mentors & Rapid Content Updates: Automated gap analysis personalizes training paths, and course content can be refreshed “in less than 80 seconds,” keeping pace with evolving industry standards.

4. Time-Critical Opportunities

• Immediate Investment: Governments must act now, deploying large-scale pilot programs and forging public-private partnerships to avert social upheaval.
• Scalability & Inclusivity: Smartphone-based AR/VR solutions can reach rural populations and underfunded regions at a fraction of the cost of physical infrastructure.
• Long-Term Vision: By mastering immersive, AI-aligned training, nations can position themselves for AGI and the post-AGI economy, steering toward “post-scarcity” scenarios with potential universal basic AI (UBAI).

“We are on the brink of a global revolution in labor markets,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “With 40% of roles at risk from AI automation, governments need a solution that can be implemented in months, not years. EON Reality provides exactly that—rapid content creation, immersive engagement, and AI mentorship that upskills learners four times faster. This white paper lays out a clear, research-backed roadmap for any nation looking to safeguard its workforce and harness the benefits of advanced AI.”
