Andrew Ng On 'AI Jobapocalypse' Fear: "Keep Learning New Skills, Jobs Will be There"

Artificial intelligence is unlikely to trigger the job apocalypse that many fear, and workers should focus on acquiring new skills rather than worrying about being replaced by machines (commonly called the 'AI Jobapocalypse' fear), AI pioneer Andrew Ng said at the NDTV World Summit. Addressing concerns about the impact of AI on employment, Andrew Ng said the technology was not yet capable enough to eliminate the vast majority of jobs. He also argued that AI could create new employment opportunities by making workers more productive, allowing businesses to expand and hire more people.
