AI’s transformative potential is expected to disrupt the labour market, with tasks rather than job roles becoming the focal point, Rishad Premji, executive chairman of Wipro said on Tuesday.

He said that enterprises around the world are gradually adopting AI technologies with many cautious about the rapid pace of its evolution. However, consumer uptake is outpacing corporate implementation.

While some companies are transitioning from piloting to production, many are cautious about scaling due to the challenges posed by rapid technological advancements. “Most enterprises are panicked about the fact that if they get something wrong and they derail, it will deeply retard how quickly they’re going to adopt,” Premji said.
