Artificial Intelligence will open up lot more new avenues.
by DebriN Synergy Business Simulation ServicesJobs, repetitive in nature may go, says experts.
Citing the incident where Facebook had to
abandon an experiment undertaken last year where two artificially intelligent
programs or chat bots appeared to be chatting to each other in a strange
language which they developed on their own and only they understood, Dr.
Jitendra K. Das set the tone of the conclave on “The Confluence of Artificial Intelligence and Data
Analytics” held recently at the FORE
School of Management, New Delhi, in association with BRICS Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
Dr. Das further explained how with the help of complex virtual learning techniques, a wide
range of physical and cognitive tasks are being managed today with a high level
of efficiency and accuracy.
And as artificial
intelligence or AI systems advance through machine learning these will continue
to impact not just business but our lives as well. But, if indeed machines
continue to improve their performance beyond human levels, a natural question
to ask is whether machines will
put humans’ jobs at risk and reduce employment.
According to Mr. Vijay
Sethi, CIO & Head CSR at Hero MotoCorp Ltd., “Such a concern is not new and
in fact dates back to the 1940s when AI and automation started developing”.
Time and again
these concerns have been raised by the citizens of the world. Some
apprehensions even stretched to the point where one wondered instead of we
controlling artificial intelligence, will it control us, turning us, in effect,
into cyborgs?
Demystifying
Artificial Intelligence and addressing these
concerns on the future of human work and employment Mr. Binay Rath, Director, APAC Alliances and Channels, Oracle Health
Sciences GBU, mentioned that the
benefits of AI is clear so instead of being concerned about the threats of AI
we need to first understand what AI is and what its potential will be. Followed
by which, ethical policy frameworks need to be in place
for the operation of machines and AI automated systems.
Mr. Nishith
Pathak, Vice
President at Accenture Labs India and author of many books on AI, echoed
similar sentiments. Citing the example of Postal Services he said though we do
not write letters nowadays but postman and post offices have not gone redundant;
they have a different role to play with a different set of responsibilities. Likewise
some low level programming jobs may go and instead data scientists will be in
huge demand.
Dr. Sumeet Kad, Portfoliio Marketing
Manager, IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences and blogger on the subject, mentioned
how the healthcare
industry landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation across the globe in the
field of big data & analytics and how Artificial Intelligence is playing a
cognitive role in transforming healthcare organizations
to improve quality of care, reduce costs, engage patients and allow
organizations to focus more on wellness and standardize care process.
Also present in the
conclave to provide insights into the present and future and deliberating the
impact of AI on enterprises and lives were Dr. B.B. L Madhukar, Secretary
General BRICS CCI and VP at FORE School; Mr. Sumit Bhalla Data Scientist, IBM India; Mr. Dhruv Singhal , Head Solution Architecture, Amazon
India, Mr. Shashikant Brahmankar, Director,
HCL Technologies India and Mr.
Anupam Saronwala, Former Program Director, IBM Research Business
Development; Mr. Deepak Wadhawan, Chief Exec, Inst. of Internal Auditors –
India. Prof. Shilpi Jain, faculty and convener of the AI Conclave.
The discussions focused upon some of the pertinent questions
highlighting the use of tools and methods to prepare, organize and tap into
AI’s transformative power; and to unearth practical applications and current
commercialization of AI technologies, Machine Learning and Deep Learning,
across industries. Most importantly the nuances and ethical practices or
policies which have to be in place in the future.
