Narayana Murthy bats for tech, cautions against ‘unsupervised learning’

Technology is a “great leveller” and has the power to bridge the gap between the affluent and poor, Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy said, while cautioning against “unsupervised learning.”

Responding to a question from Abhyuday Jindal, president of Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC), on whether India should be embracing artificial intelligence (AI) or approaching with caution, Murthy said, “We need technology in India if we want to reduce the gap between the well-to-do and the not-so-well-to-do. That’s what financial inclusion has done.”
