AI is an assistant to humans... it will have net zero effect on jobs: Flex’s Revathi Advaithi
Hindustan TimesThe world today is in the midst of rapid, multifaceted technological evolution that’s changing how we live, work, communicate, commute and interact. That’s controversial because a lot of people don’t believe that,” said Advaithi, in a virtual session at the 22nd Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. “We had to do that pretty quickly because people were beginning to use tools such as Anthropic or ChatGPT.” This AI tool finds deep integration within their infrastructure and systems, and can help with a variety of workflow tasks including drafting emails, transcribing meetings—the sort of tasks one would expect from a generative AI tool. Advaithi had an inkling, as she puts it, that the “world was going towards computer science and AI understood the heartbeat and pulse of how things were getting made”. On India’s role in AI, manufacturing and data centre capacity, Advaithi sees significant potential.
