“It’s not about fewer jobs; it’s about newer jobs. It’s about the evolution of jobs that we’ve been seeing,” said Ruchee Anand, India country head, LinkedIn talent and learning solutions. The popular social networking site for professionals, on February 27, held its first-ever Talent Connect India event. Anand, who spearheads the platform’s learning and engagement solutions, firmly believes that AI is going to help drive equitable outcomes and that it can be a great leveller.
On the sidelines of LinkedIn’s much-awaited event, Anand spoke to indianexpress.com about the dissemination of AI technologies into the job market, and painted a rather affecting picture. “AI is a tool, but the human element is what is most important,” she said, emphasising the importance of the irrevocable role of human skills.
