Perspectives by Raj: AI's Role in Job Creation
How will AI’s advancement and policies affect jobs in healthcare and beyond? While there’s often fear that automation will replace workers, Raj sees it differently. He points to historical patterns: every major technological shift has created more opportunities than it’s destroyed. Still, this doesn’t happen automatically—companies must actively guide the process.
His take is that the workforce of the future needs to be “AI literate.” While we might not need everyone to become AI developers or machine learning experts, having a basic understanding of how to use AI tools will be crucial. Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, programmer, business analyst, or any other professional, AI can make your work more efficient and more effective if you embrace it. On the flip side, if you don’t, you risk being outpaced by those who do.
Raj’s optimism comes with a call to action: organizations should help their teams learn about AI now, so they’re prepared for the transformations ahead. Rather than seeing AI as a threat, he suggests viewing it as a partner that can handle repetitive or complex tasks more quickly, freeing up human talent for higher-value activities. This could improve productivity, job satisfaction, and even open up new roles we haven’t imagined yet.
In short, AI isn’t about taking away jobs; it’s about reimagining and enhancing them. Raj believes that by preparing and upskilling today’s workforce, we can ensure that AI leads to a healthier job market, filled with more meaningful work and better outcomes for employees, companies, and consumers alike.
