Future managers must have a good, sound knowledge of data science, mathematics and statistics, as the future of every industry would revolve around artificial intelligence, said speakers at a convention on artificial intelligence (AI).
At the Madras Management Association’s All India Management Students’ Convention 2022 held on the theme ‘AI Shaping Today and the Future’ on on Tuesday, speakers urged the students to enhance their skills by taking up serious courses in data science and update their knowledge by reading up on technological revolutions around them. They used examples of AI chess and checker players that permanently changed the notion that the human brain was superior to computers.
Indian Institute of Technology Madras Director V. Kamakoti traced the evolution of chess from a game of human intelligence to one governed by computers that analysed patterns based on information fed into it. Human resource departments could use AIs to assess an employee’s performance, progress and even recruitment, he said. In the banking sector, AI could be used to assess a person’s credit worthiness and predict if a loan given out would be repaid.
