Union Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, Skill Development, Electronics & Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar has termed comments about Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking away jobs as “non-sense, bakwas”.
“I am sorry to be sounding cynical. In 1999, the whole of 1999, I heard how Y2K is going to wipe out the world. Then I hear AI will finish our jobs and there are obviously people who want to look at the worst-case scenario of any innovation. AI will finish our jobs, zero, non-sense, bakwas,” the Union Minister said on Friday.
“Generative AI today is task-focused and essentially makes tasks more efficient, mimicking human behaviour,” he added.
The Minister was talking to the media after unveiling the fully automated state-of-the-art electromagnetic interference and compatibility laboratories at the Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) in Chennai.
