Humans to remain important despite being outnumbered by AI agents: Cognizant president

Humans will continue to play a key role despite being outnumbered by AI agents, just like teachers are always more important in a classroom, global IT giant Cognizant’s President Americas Surya Gummadi has said.

“AI is everywhere and in all industries, be it financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, consumer, communications, media and technology,” Gummadi told PTI in an interview here during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.

Cognizant is a key player in helping corporates build AI solutions and help them pivot.
