AI will augment, not replace human judgment, says Cisco's Jeetu Patel

Fears that artificial intelligence could render humans redundant are misplaced, with the real breakthrough lying in combining human judgement with machine-scale automation, Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer of Cisco, said. "I don't see a scenario where humans are completely extinct of contribution of value to society.
