AI will create jobs: Accenture India Chairman

Accenture, which now has over 50 per cent of its revenues coming from digital, is betting big on Artificial Intelligence as the company feels AI has the ability to enable socio-economic development in India, unlocking at least a trillion dollars of economic value by 2035. In a conversation with BusinessLine, Rekha M Menon, Chairman and Senior Managing Director, Accenture in India, talked about how AI is transforming not just Accenture's clients but also the tech giant itself. People are worried about AI taking away their jobs, and in several instances, bots have in fact replaced humans. Should humans worry about AI taking over? AI is the'alpha' of all technology trends, and someday it will be as pervasive as electricity, truly transforming the way businesses and societies function.
