How will automation impact jobs?
Ajay Kolla , CEO, and Founder of Wisdomjobs.com, says, "AI and automation are set to assist employees, not replace them completely. Organizations need to retrain their employees to co-exist with automation and new technologies. It is also important to create a support system where employees don't lose their jobs due to new technology, and also creates a place where employees and technology work together to achieve company goals."
He further added, "In today's market, there is a mismatch between the supply and demand of tech skills. Tech talent is limited, if everybody goes after it, there will be an increase in demand. So, it's better to retrain and reskill your existing workforce to fill the gap."
