‘AI could replace CEOs’: Shankar Sharma cautions IT sector to face reality

Investor and founder of artificial intelligence (AI) company Gquant, Shankar Sharma, on Wednesday warned the Indian workforce, particularly in the IT sector, about the growing influence of AI. He cautioned that AI poses a disruptive threat to the future of the IT sector, which he said has long been a cornerstone in shaping India’s modern identity.

“The IT sector is the sole reason why we can hold our heads up in the world. Because it is this revolution that started in the early 90s that has been the brand ambassador for today’s India,” Sharma told Moneycontrol. However, he warned that this “Camelot has got its Mordred.”
