Generative AI or Gen AI, Ranjit Tinaikar, CEO of Ness Digital Engineering said, would create more job opportunities but with certain expertise. Tinaikar, who was speaking to The Indian Express, said that largescale adaption of Gen AI would help the industry reinvent itself as it has done with other technology changes.
“Gen AI will give ease to a lot of repetitive work but the need for experts will also increase who can use this,” he said. The demand for skilled manpower who can develop new solutions using Gen AI will increase. With the rise of Gen AI, the threat of deep fakes – eg. usage of morphed pictures, videos – have also risen. To counter misuse of any technology, it would require intervention in the way of technology, he said. “At present, regulation about Gen AI is in its initial stages and as the technology matures, regulations about it would also increase,” he said.
Overall, the need for sophisticated and trained man power would increase as more and more industries start using Gen AI.
Ness Digital Engineering, Tinaikar said, expects to increase its head count by 20-25 per cent per year. Other than Pune, the company has base in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Over 40 per cent of the company’s global work force is in India but majority of the work is done for the global markets.
