Infosys co-founder S Gopalakrishnan thinks the current slowdown in tech hiring is just a short-term effect of companies shifting to artificial intelligence, or AI.
He expects this dip to last a year or two, but believes demand for people with AI skills will surge over the next three to five years as more businesses go all-in on artificial intelligence.
Gopalakrishnan urges learning AI amid layoffs
Big tech layoffs at companies like Microsoft and Amazon have made job security feel shaky, especially in India's huge IT sector.
Still, Gopalakrishnan is upbeat about the future. He says learning AI now is key.
He's saying there is a lot of demand for people who have AI skills, and that demand is going to increase.
