New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
The rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across industries worldwide has made tasks efficient and\u00a0easier. And with that,\u00a0there’s\u00a0also been\u00a0a growing concern about potential job losses to the technology. However, Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy believes the concern about AI replacing jobs is\u00a0\u201coverblown\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, Mr Murthy weighed in on\u00a0AI’s\u00a0potential to replace human jobs, particularly in coding.\u00a0\u201cThe most powerful instrument ever invented by God is the human mind,\u201d\u00a0he told Moneycontrol<\/a>.<\/p>\n Recalling the introduction of\u00a0\u201ccase tools\u201d\u00a0in 1975, he said that many\u00a0at the time\u00a0thought it would replace human employment in software development.\u00a0“It\u00a0didn’t\u00a0 Mr Murthy suggested focusing on how AI can\u00a0\u201camplify\u201d\u00a0human labour, as per the outlet.\u00a0The former Infosys CEO believes we should be able to\u00a0\u201ctame that beast and make it an assistive tool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n “I\u00a0am a confirmed optimist regarding the role of technology in general and specifically in AI.”<\/p>\n It’s\u00a0not the first time Mr Murthy has dismissed the notion that AI would replace human jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Even in February 2024, during a speech at the foundation day of the All India Management Association (AIMA<\/a>), he said that while AI improves our lives, humans will always\u00a0make sure\u00a0it\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0dominate us. Mr Murthy said that the human mind remains superior to technology, always staying ahead.\u00a0“Humans have the power of the mind,”\u00a0he said,\u00a0“no computer can compete with that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
