"Employees nee-d to be more intuitive, irrespective of organisation fun-ction, more creative in the work they are doing," Sha-akun Khanna, head of HCM Applications, Asia Pacific, at Oracle told PTI.He further said that Oracle has an annual R&D (research and development) spend of USD 6 billion and integrates modern technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things and so on in all its enterprise applications.
"The world will just have two types of people – employable in the augmented workplace and unemployable," he added.On the other hand, tech experts maintain that though this trend is yet to take off in India, high speed chenille embroidery machine artificial intelligence has started featuring dominantly in HR (human resource) conversations and while terms like AI, chatbots and machine learning may sound intimidating, these technologies will not remove humans from the workplace.To keep its staff relevant in this transitioning world Oracle has moved all its enterprise applications to the cloud to provide unparalleled employee experience, he said.While automation will eliminate some jobs, it will also create some jobs that will support the "automation economy".
