He added that the discussion should not be on AI replacing jobs but instead on how “this can amplify human labour.” He said AI should be welcomed, tamed, and used as an assertive tool. “I am a confirmed optim regarding the role of technology in general and specifically in AI. All of this will happen only if we are smart enough to tame that beast and make it an assive tool,” he told Moneycontrol. This is not the first time the tech leader has rejected the notion that AI will take over jobs. Earlier this year, speaking at the 67th Foundation Day of the All India Management Association (AIMA), he stated that AI makes life comfortable and humans will always keep technology from taking over. He added that the human mind is “one step” ahead of technology. What are your thoughts on Narayana Murthy’s comment on AI?
