AI Not Sophisticated Enough To Replace Jobs In Its Current State: Rajeev Chandrasekhar
Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday said that AI as a technology in its current form is largely task-oriented and not capable of dealing with a situation where logic and reasoning are needed. Therefore in his view, AI is not harmful in terms of replacing jobs in its current state.
"While AI is disruptive we do not see in the next few years the so-called threat of replacing the jobs. Because the current stage of the development of AI is very task-oriented and not reasoning, logic and etc."
"Jobs usually have reasoning and logic and AI is not as sophisticated at this point," the minister said.
The Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, Skill Development, Electronics and Technology also made it clear that the government will regulate Artificial Intelligence technology in order to ensure that it doesn't harm 'digital citizens'.
He was speaking at a press conference to highlight the digital initiatives taken by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government so far.
