Entrepreneurship is the cure for AI anxiety, says seer

Entrepreneurship is the solution to AI-related job concerns, according to Madhusudan Sai, founder of the One World One Family Mission. Speaking at a public event in Bagalkot on August 9, Sai urged the youth to become job creators rather than solely job seekers. He emphasized that with the increasing presence of AI, job opportunities may dwindle, and a mindset of entrepreneurship is necessary to adapt to constant change.

Sai highlighted that Indians have a natural entrepreneurial spirit, but the education system has instilled a clerical mindset, leading to a dependency on a single employer. Instead, he advocated for giving work to multiple people, ensuring preparedness for any circumstance.

Sai addressed concerns about AI replacing jobs, particularly in the software sector, where one AI tool can potentially perform the tasks of 10 people. While he acknowledged this as a factor in job losses, he pointed out that AI is unlikely to significantly impact the education and medical sectors, with an estimated need for over one million teachers in India.

He also mentioned that the Sathya Sai Human Development University would award 'Krishi Rishi' certificates to successful farmers in Bagalkot district, recognizing 140 millet growers this year.

In response to a question from former MLA Veeranna Charantimath, Sai discussed the value of a digital twin and questioned its ability to genuinely connect with others emotionally. He stressed that selfless service and the realization of the Supreme Lord can be achieved through dedicated work. Sai's Sathya Sai Human Development University in Mudhol taluk of Bagalkot district is providing free, residential, value-based education to economically disadvantaged children, with a current enrollment of 55 students, 64% of whom are from rural areas, 35% from below the poverty line, and 36% being first-generation students.
