Most outsourced programmer jobs in India will disappear within the next year or two, says Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque.
Most outsourced programmers in the country will lose their jobs because the impact of artificial intelligence means software can now be developed with fewer people, Mostak said on a conference call with UBS analysts.
“I think it affects different types of jobs in different ways,” Mostak said on a conference call with analysts at UBS last week.
“If you do a job in front of a computer and no one sees you, the impact is huge because these models are like really talented graduates.”
However, Mostak said not everyone will be affected in the same way.
This is largely due to different rules and regulations around the world. For example, countries with stricter labor laws like France are less likely to see this effect.
In India, “outsourced programmers below level 3 will disappear in the next year or two, whereas in France you never fire developers,” Mostak said.
“So it affects different patterns of different industries in different countries in different ways.”
India is home to more than 5 million software programmers who are most at risk from the influence of advanced artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT. Bloomberg.
Asia’s second-largest country is a prime location for companies that outsource back-office and other positions overseas. Silicon Valley tech giants, Wall Street banks, airlines and retailers are among the clients of Indian outsourcing firms.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is an Indian multinational IT services and consulting company and the largest outsourcing provider in the country.Others include Infosys and Vipro.
TCS is betting big on generative AI, promising to train more than 25,000 engineers on the technology through Microsoft’s Azure Open AI service to “help accelerate customers’ adoption of this powerful new technology.”
TCS CEO N. Ganapathy Subramaniam told CNBC on Thursday that the company began taking a “machine-first” approach to delivering projects about four years ago, showing how artificial intelligence will “have a huge impact on the way we operate.” ’ and the way we do things. “
Generative AI “has been progressing for a few years,” Subramaniam said.
Mostak reiterated his earlier statement that five years from now “there will be no more programmers” — though, he cautioned, he was referring to programmers in the traditional sense.
“Why do you have to write code where computers can write code better? When you deconstruct programming things from bug testing to unit testing to ideation, artificial intelligence can do it and do it better,” Moss Tucker said.
“But it’s not going to do it automatically, it’s going to be the AI’s ‘co-pilot,'” Mostak said. “That means fewer people are needed for classical programming, but do other things need them? That’s the question, and that’s the balance we have to understand, because different fields are also affected differently.”
