New Delhi: Amidst the increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), major changes are being seen in the IT sector. In this series, layoff of about 12 thousand employees by Oracle in India has created a stir. AI is being said to be a major reason behind this decision.
Meanwhile, a statement by Perplexity CEO Arvind Srinivas has become the center of discussion. He has advised people who have lost their jobs to see this as an opportunity and start their own work through AI.
During the conversation in All In Podcast, Arvind Srinivas said that due to AI, there may be less jobs for some time, but it has also brought new opportunities for the people.
He said that with the help of AI tools, people can start small businesses and create new sources of income.
Srinivas explained in detail that many people are not satisfied with their current jobs. In such a situation, AI is opening a new path, where people can start their work by learning new skills.
According to him, this change has brought challenges as well as possibilities.
This statement of the CEO has drawn sharp reactions on social media. Many users said that starting your own business is not so easy.
At the same time, some people supported his idea and said that AI can actually create new opportunities.
Experts believe that the impact of AI will increase further in the coming five years. According to estimates, it may affect about 90 lakh jobs in America alone.
The biggest impact can be seen in areas like programming, web design and data science. Some industry leaders have also expressed the possibility of the unemployment rate exceeding 30%.
At present, Oracle has shown the way out to about 12,000 employees. But this process is not going to stop here.
The company plans to lay off about 30,000 employees globally, due to which the jobs of more people may be affected in the future.
Oracle is an American multinational technology company, which provides database management systems, cloud computing and enterprise software services.
It was founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison and his partners.
