New Delhi: Unmetered intelligence, human-supervised `digital colleagues’ and continuous skilling as the key safeguard amid big shifts will shape an AI-rewired future, Puneet Chandok, president, Microsoft India and South Asia has said outlining his top predictions. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during his visit to India earlier this month had announced plans to invest $ 17.5 billion here to help build infrastructure and sovereign capabilities for the country’s AI-first future - the bold commitment marking the tech giant’s largest investment ever in Asia. Chandok said AI has moved beyond hype, delivering real impact today. “...the next phase will be defined by how responsibly, inclusively, and thoughtfully we scale it,” Chandok said.
His headline predictions for the rearranging world and frontier AI include intelligence moving from being scarce to abundant, with compute increasingly translating directly into cognition for organisations, in an era of “unmetered intelligence”.
AI ‘agents’ will work alongside people, taking on tasks and reasoning across data, but humans will remain firmly in control, he asserts. Outcomes will be key to reshaping business model, and value creation will shift from effort and delay, to measurable outcomes.
