Reporting

Harshal Kate of the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai dedicated his presentation to the topic of artificial intelligence.

“Technology, in agriculture for instance, essentially makes life easier for us humans,” Harshal Kate said, “but do we have to be afraid of robots replacing us as workers?”

 

Harshal Kate ventured a look into the future of his homeland: there are forecasts that see 80 percent of all jobs in India as endangered by artificial intelligence. “That is why it is important to control the system around artificial intelligence.” This is done by removing the ability to multiply from the system.
