SAP confident of new job creation by AI

German software-maker SAP SE is confident that artificial intelligence (AI) will create new jobs even as the rise of the new technology casts a shadow on jobs done by humans.

“We believe AI will create more jobs by increasing productivity. We are working with our partners to leverage AI and increase the productivity of our projects,” said Muhammad Alam, member of the executive board for product engineering at SAP at the company’s roundtable with the media in its research and development (R&D) lab in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
