As the world enters the era of liberal AI, with devices such as chatters and Gemini, there is a real fear that these technologies will reduce the future of young students who are currently in colleges or just coming out of their professional courses. As the Oxford India Forum played a panel discussion on AI and its role in society, the conversation also addressed these concerns.

Rajiv Chandrashekhar, former IT Minister, Sameer Chauhan, Director Unique, and Vikram Doriswami, who are India’s High Commissioner in the UK, participated in the panel discussion. During the discussion, one of the major questions, which was operated by Prachetas Bhatnagar, is the head of strategy and operations, policy and politics in the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, revolving around concern among college students about the impact of AI on their careers.

Answering a question, Chandrashekhar said that AI will definitely bring major changes. He said, “AI is going to change the scenario of what we see as a work. AI is changing the scenario of what we understand as innovation. (First) I think in many people, the dynamics and landscape of talent has been changed in many ways and who did well and who did not do so well, said.”

Then he said in detail that this would mean a change of Stark in the workplaces. He said, “AI is going to take (changes) at the next level. It is going to be a very deep change in the workflows. And the concept of talent and skills at work is being re -connected in ways we cannot understand today,” he said.

Nevertheless, there is an opportunity within change. Chandrashekhar said, “I always tell the students, do not reduce the power of AI or how you will work and how you will succeed or fail.” “And do not reduce the hyperbole of AI and threaten it and see it as a challenge instead of an opportunity.”

The discussion around AI was not limited to its impact only at career or workplaces. In the same discussion, the panelists also discussed further methods for India, as far as deep tech and AI are concerned, the concept of technical sovereignty and AI’s social impact, especially around incorrect information.

Chandrashekhar said, “If you think wrong information is a problem in the world of social media, then it is going to look like a walk in the park when you see what is going to happen below the road with AI,” Chandrashekhar said.
