Some clarity on GenAI is beginning to emerge now: Nandan Nilekani

The Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) revolution is in its second year now and some clarity is beginning to emerge from the noise and babble of the last 18 months, Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani said.

“The initial hyperventilation of AI doomerism and the risk of human extinction by AI advances like artificial general intelligence (AGI) has quietened down,” he said.

People have accepted that like any other general-purpose technology such as electricity, nuclear energy, internet, or the discovery of fire, GenAI has enormous potential for good when explored within the guardrails of responsibility, Nilekani wrote in a letter to shareholders in its latest annual report.
