Gen AI more of assistant, hard to say if can operate standalone: Salesforce

Artificial Intelligence and generative technology is more of an assistant rather than a self-functioning unit, and it is difficult to say if it will work on its own in the future, Salesforce India CEO Arundhati Bhattacharya said on Friday.

Speaking at a media roundtable, the American technology company’s India Chairperson said at present, there is always a human involved in AI operations.

“It’s more of an assistant right now. We have not reached the point where we can allow it (to operate independently)… will it be totally on its own at some point, is very difficult to say now,” she said.
