Nandan Nilekani believes that artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications cannot completely replace people. Infosys co-founder said this is because the “mechanical” process cannot replicate “unique human” qualities.
Nilekani talked to MoneyControl at an AIMA event, saying that no matter how technology improves, AI will never replace human skills such as collaboration, creativity, empathy and leadership – no matter what technology is.
Nandan Nilekani: Focus on content that AI cannot replicate
Nilekani told the publication that while AI will begin to automate more and more tasks, human qualities will become more valuable, and the focus should be on the slant towards priorities and nurturing those tasks.
“You can have all the AIS in the world, but if you can’t get five people to work together and work together, you can’t go anywhere. Instead of chasing technical skills that may be outdated, people should focus on it. Content that AI cannot copy. ”
“The AI approach is more mechanical. Being able to go back to first principles and analyze something is something AI can’t do,” he added. The first principle thinking is to return to problem assumptions from the beginning and restart.
He also calls creativity unique. Although AI can be mimicked, it cannot create “really original ideas”, so our education system should prioritize this.
About the future of AI and AI
In the work that affects AI, Neil Carney calls himself “optimistic” but admits that some jobs will be affected, but “few jobs” will be eliminated completely. “I think AI is an opportunity, although I tend to be optimistic about everything. Yes, some jobs will be affected – the tasks identified will be automated, but few jobs can be completely eliminated,” he said.
He also pointed out the opportunities AI can offer. “Artificial intelligence will make humans more productive and create new jobs that we haven’t even thought of yet. India lacks a shortage of teachers, doctors and skilled workers. AI can expand human capabilities and make education and healthcare more accessible. It all depends on To how you build it – AI can be mined (where a few people control all the data and profit from it) or inclusion (where to benefit everyone). DPI is fundamentally large-scale inclusion, and AI can also It should be.” He added.
Nilekani also shared his thoughts on the creation of AI models and said significant progress could be made next year’s domestic front. He believes: “The government is focused on the AI mission in India and I think we will see in the coming year, some very important models come from India.”
