“What’s coming up: Narayana Murthy on why some programmers won’t make it through AI” . It used to take him 25 to 30 hours to prepare a speech, but Murthy said he just finished using OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4.
He underlined that the role of a coder is changing. Writing code is no longer the main focus; instead, complicated problems must be defined and solved with the aid of AI technologies.
It used to take him 25 to 30 hours to prepare a speech, but Murthy said he just finished using OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4. Using AI, he finished it in five minutes. Who will make it through the AI era? not all programmers. Not even the majority. Many will be left behind by the future.
The emergence of generative AI is already changing what it means to be useful in the tech industry and who gets left out, according to Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy, who made this clear in an interview with Moneycontrol.
Murthy mentioned that he recently prepared a speech using OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, which used to take him 25 to 30 hours. He completed it in five minutes using AI. He claimed to have increased his own output by up to five times.
However, saving time isn’t the only reason for Murthy. It’s an indication. He asserted that while AI won’t replace software professions, it will reveal which engineers are actually skilled in their field. “You won’t get the right results unless you ask the right question.”
He compared the situation to the introduction of computers into the British banking industry in the 1970s, a change that unions opposed out of concern about job losses. However, the industry enjoyed a 40–50 fold rise in employment instead of layoffs. If Indian technology adjusts, Murthy thinks it can have the same experience.
He underlined that the role of a coder is changing. Writing code is no longer the main focus; instead, complicated problems must be defined and solved with the aid of AI technologies. “Our analysts and programmers will continue to advance in intelligence. “They will solve more complicated and larger problems,” he stated.
Murthy makes it clear that software engineers will not be replaced by AI. However, it will reinterpret who is considered one.
