Reset opportunity for firms: Infosys Co-founder Nandan Nilekani

The transition to artificial intelligence is unlike any earlier tech cycle and will fundamentally change the way businesses operate, Infosys Co-founder Nandan Nilekani said on Tuesday and in the same breath sought to allay fears around it by describing the moment as a reset opportunity.

“This time it’s not a layer of technology… This is a fundamental root-and-branch surgery of the way business is done,” he said.

On the job front, Nilekani said, “writing code will not be the goal” in the AI era but there will be new roles.
