At a time when tech companies are carrying out AI-driven layoffs, Arvind Jain, founder and CEO of Glean, says AI will never replace a single worker. Jain, an IITian and Indian-American entrepreneur, believes AI will augment humans, enabling them to do higher quality work.
Speaking at Fortune’s Workplace Innovation Summit, Jain said, 'I don't think AI—or actually, for me, hopefully forever, too—AI never replaces any human, and it just actually augments us, enables us, allows us to do higher quality work.'
Jain's predictions about the future of the workforce differ from the general opinion in business circles. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has warned that AI could eliminate up to half of white-collar jobs in the coming years.
Arvind Jain is the founder and CEO of Glean, a $7.2 billion company. He holds a degree in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, and has worked at Microsoft and Google. He co-founded Rubrik in 2014 and launched Glean in 2019 to solve a major workplace problem.
