有限公司董事长南丹·尼勒卡尼是印度最著名的科技创始人之一,他对人工智能会消除工作岗位的担忧不以为意,并表示该技术反而会激发小企业活力,推动对新技能的需求。
Ltd. Chairman Nandan Nilekani, one of India’s most prominent tech founders, shrugged off worries about AI eliminating jobs and said the technology will instead galvanize small businesses and fuel demand for new skills.
尼勒卡尼(71岁)周二在新德里举行的彭博新经济论坛上表示,虽然编码等任务越来越能够由人工智能处理,但其他岗位将随之出现,以管理该技术的部署及其风险。他称人工智能将取代人类工人的观点是“废话”。
While tasks such as coding can increasingly be handled by artificial intelligence, other roles will emerge to manage the technology’s deployment and its risks, Nilekani, 71, said at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi on Tuesday. The idea that AI will displace human workers is “hogwash,” he said.
这位IT行业资深人士对人工智能对就业的影响比其他人更为乐观,而国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃警告称,人工智能对劳动力市场而言是一个“缓慢移动的海啸”。尼勒卡尼是印孚瑟斯的七位联合创始人之一,他认为将出现新岗位,以确保人工智能安全可靠。
The IT industry veteran is more optimistic about AI’s impact on employment than others, with International Monetary Fund Director Kristalina Georgieva warning that AI is a “slow-moving tsunami” for the labor market. Nilekani, one of Infosys’ seven co-founders, sees new jobs emerging for ensuring that AI is safe and reliable.
“业务转型不仅仅是编码,”尼勒卡尼说。“七十 percent 是治理、变革管理、转型、防护栏。你怎么确保人工智能机器人不会产生幻觉?你怎么确保代理不会失控?”他说,新岗位将“在于理解客户需求、在于协作、在于让人们共同工作”。
“Business transformation is not just about coding,” Nilekani said. “Seventy percent is governance, change management, transformation, guardrails. How do you make sure AI bots don’t hallucinate? How do you make sure agents don’t go rogue?”The new jobs will be “in understanding client requirements, in collaborating, in getting people to work together,” he said.

像印孚瑟斯这样的印度软件外包巨头长期依赖工程毕业生大军为全球客户编写程序。但来自OpenAI和Anthropic PBC等公司的模型编程能力已经在颠覆这一模式。周二,尼勒卡尼承认编码正“在被自动化”,但他表示,技术仅占任何服务项目的一小部分。
Indian software outsourcing giants such as Infosys have long depended on armies of engineering graduates to write programs for their global clients. But programming capabilities of models from the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic PBC are already upending that model. On Tuesday, Nilekani acknowledged that coding was “getting automated” but said that technology accounts for just a fraction in any services project.
AI正在推动失业的说法“只是为了迎合大资本利益而进行的灾难营销,”尼勒卡尼说。“像Infosys或其他公司这样的企业,其需求实际上比以往任何时候都更高,因为企业转型是一项非常复杂的活动,而AI要求你从根本上重新想象你的业务方式。”投资者目前还没有这种信心,认为Infosys能够赢得新业务。在过去两年里,其股价下跌了约45%,因为紧张的股东们看到编码工具随着每次更新变得越来越强大。
The idea that AI is fueling job losses “is all disaster marketing to suit the interests of large capital,” Nilekani said. “The requirement for companies like Infosys or others is actually more than ever before because the transformation of enterprise is a very complex activity, and AI requires you to fundamentally reimagine the way you do business.”Investors are yet to have that kind of confidence in Infosys’ ability to win over new business. Its shares are down about 45% over the past two years as nervous stockholders have watched coding tools grow more capable with every update.
周二,其股价上涨了3.2%,而竞争对手塔塔咨询服务有限公司(Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.)的股价上涨了6.2%。
Its shares climbed 3.2% Tuesday, while rival Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. advanced 6.2%.
“我们将看到只有更多的工作涌向我们,”尼勒卡尼说。“当然,个别公司必须拿出行动来。他们必须转型自身,为员工再培训,建立新能力。这一切都是事实,但这只会意味着有更多事情要做。”
“We are going to see only more work coming our way,” Nilekani said. “Of course, individual companies will have to get their act together. They’ll have to transform themselves, reskill their workers, build new capabilities. All that is true, but this will only mean more things to be done.”
