Artificial Intelligence will open up new avenues: Experts - ET Telecom

NEW DELHI: Citing the incident where Facebook had to abandon an experiment undertaken last year where two artificially intelligent programs or chat bots appeared to be chatting to each other in a strange language which they developed on their own and only they understood, Dr. Jitendra K. Das set the tone of the conclave on "The Confluence of Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics" held recently at the FORE School of Management, New Delhi, in association with BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Dr. Das further explained how with the help of complex virtual learning techniques, a wide range of physical and cognitive tasks are being managed today with a high level of efficiency and accuracy. And as artificial intelligence or AI systems advance through machine learning these will continue to impact not just business but our lives as well. But, if indeed machines continue to improve their performance beyond human levels, a natural question to ask is whether machines will put humans' jobs at risk and reduce employment. According to Mr. Vijay Sethi, CIO and Head CSR at Hero MotoCorp Ltd., "Such a concern is not new and in fact dates back to the 1940s when AI and automation started developing."
