The transition into the era of artificial intelligence (AI) is an effort to improve work efficiency, delivery, and productivity, not necessarily job displacement, says Yesh Surjoodeen, managing director for Southern and Central Africa at HP.
Speaking to journalists recently, Surjoodeen emphasised that AI empowers humans with opportunities to manage strategic tasks and routine operations while boosting productivity levels.
However, despite growing concerns that AI could lead to widespread job losses, Surjoodeen clarified that the goal is not work force displacement. “AI is about augmenting human potential and making roles more effective, not replacing them,” he explained.
