Do not see any threat to jobs from current form of AI: Rajeev Chandrasekhar

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday ruled out any threat of job loss due to the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), stating that the current form of AI is largely task-oriented and incapable of dealing with situations requiring logic and reasoning.

He also stated that the government will regulate AI technology to ensure that it does not harm digital citizens.

“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 etc,” the minister said.
