In the first few months of 2023, human civilization was informed about how artificial intelligence and automation could become democratic tools used for myriad purposes in various industries. From conversational AI tools like ChatGPT to AI-assisted robots that will soon roam factories and help humans manage everyday tasks more easily, there’s a lot going on across the board. And it’s going fast.
To understand what this means for you and the rest of humanity, industry insiders Vijay Korako, Head of Human Resources, Intel India, Teja Manakame, Vice President of IT, Dell Technologies, and Sukesh Choubei, Technology Consulting Leader, EY Global Delivery Services. I spoke to
Will AI take jobs?
“I believe that human labor cannot be replaced. There are still many tasks that require human intervention, such as creative problem-solving, empathy, and critical thinking, that cannot be performed by machines.” In addition, there are certain roles that cannot be fully executed: automated ones such as leadership, strategy and relationship building that are critical to the success of any organization,” said Vijay Colaco of Intel India.
“Therefore, companies are looking for ways to seamlessly incorporate AI into their operations while maintaining a human workforce. We can provide insights and recommendations that can help,” said Colaco. Added.
Teja Manakame of Dell Technologies said: The team focuses on upskilling and investing in upskilling his members to keep up with the pace of innovation. ”

According to Sukesh Choubey of EY Global Delivery Services, autonomous systems and robots could replace human workers in industries such as transportation, manufacturing and agriculture. “[Tech companies] We also develop AI-powered tools and platforms, such as virtual assistants and machine learning algorithms, that help humans work more efficiently and effectively. ”
“Whether we rely on human labor or AI-based systems depends on many factors, including the nature of the industry, the specific tasks involved, and customer and employee preferences,” added Choubey.
Correlation between automation and employment
Colaco believes automation will replace human labor in certain areas, but “automation can also create demand for new sets of employees with specific or newer skills. “AI-based tools are not necessarily designed to replace human workers, but rather to augment and enhance their capabilities.”
Sukesh Choubey emphasized how automation’s impact on employment will depend on the specific sector and job role involved, stating, “AI is a new technology that requires skills in data analysis, machine learning and natural language processing. I can get the job done,” he said.
“Many factors determine the adoption and use of AI technology, including economic, social and political factors, reliability and availability, and the specific needs and preferences of businesses and consumers,” Choubey added. .
Teja Manakame says: “AI fluency is critical in today’s world, leveraging machine intelligence to manage workflows, accomplish tasks, and recognize limitations. AI will not replace humans, humans will upskill themselves. AI can be used intelligently to become more innovative.”
“Manual tasks and basic data processing in a predictable environment can be easily automated using robots and softwareOn the other hand, other tasks that require more interpersonal work and the application of deep expertise, such as employee management and manual labor in more complex environments, have proven difficult to automate with current technology. ,” said Vijay Colaco, Human Resources Director at Intel India.
“Industries with significant adoption of automation technologies such as robotics, AI, and machine learning are manufacturing, retail, transportation, healthcare, and logistics in areas where tasks and processes are inherently predictable.,” he added.
“In manufacturing, for example, the use of robots and other automation technologies has significantly increased efficiency and productivity, and this trend is expected to continue. Similarly, in transportation and logistics, autonomous driving Car use and drones are expectedIt aims to revolutionize the way goods are transported and delivered,” explains Sukesh Choubey, Technology Consulting Leader, EY Global Delivery Services.

“In customer service, chatbots and other AI-powered tools are already being used to handle routine inquiries and tasks, and we expect this trend to continue as AI technology improves.” he added.
According to Teja Manakame, vice president of IT, India, Dell Technologies, new technologies could have the greatest impact on industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail and financial services.
What can technicians do to upskill?
Teja Manakame suggests, “Organizations need to invest in developing their human capital to enable team members to acquire new skills in this data-driven economy.”New technologies such as multi-cloud
As Sukesh Choubey explained, “Tech people can also focus on developing so-called ‘soft skills’ such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, and emotional intelligence, which are difficult for machines to replicate. Exploring opportunities in skill sets and related fields. “Someone with software development expertise could also apply their skills to finance, healthcare, or education, where there is a growing demand for technology-driven solutions,” he explained.
“Education is important, but many recruiters are starting to look at specific skill sets instead. reskilling and upskilling of the workforce in , said Vijay Korako.
workplace of the future
While it is difficult to predict the exact future state, Intel India’s Vijay Colaco said, “Based on current trends, we expect significant demographic shifts, technological advances, and accelerating economic and socio-cultural change. Considering the future, the future will be brighter, with hybrid and flexible work models taking hold.”
Sukesh Choubey, EY GDS, says the future workplace will see increased use of automation and AI, flexible working arrangements, the importance of lifelong learning, the use of virtual and augmented reality, and sustainability. increase. “The future workplace will be shaped by a combination of technological change, social and cultural norms, and economic and political conditions,” he said.
Teja Manakame of Dell India echoed this sentiment, stating, “In a world where you can do anything from anywhere, the future of work is evolving. It will increasingly define a member.” experience. “
