AI won't take away jobs, no machine is close to human intelligence: Steve Wozniak

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who was in India for The Economic Times Global Business Summit, told reporters that he doesn't believe artificial intelligence (AI) will end up taking away people's jobs. Speaking to The Economic Times, the 67-year-old Wozniak said that over a period of time, people end up losing jobs because of phenomena like stock market crashes and market bubbles. "These things come and go. But it's not like the world is ruined," he said. Woz, the nickname by which he is widely known, pointed out that no machine ever sits down and says "Humm, what should I work on?"
