Project Management

 The other day, I was reading an EY blog explaining that tech companies are shifting toward diamond-shaped hiring , where fresh hiring is consolidating. And again, the same fear surfaced everywhere: “AI is going to take our jobs.” But why are we so frightened of AI? Today, the large majority of people — in India and outside — only use AI for the most basic tasks: writing emails, drafting letters, summarizing notes. Even in major consulting environments, there have been cases where teams relied heavily on AI tools to produce content that was later flagged by other AI tools. It simply shows one thing: People are overusing AI without understanding it. I sometimes wonder what the top institutes like IITs are teaching now — maybe prompt writing for Copilot or ChatGPT? And even the certificates we collect in India are becoming inflated in value , very similar to the hype around foreign consultancies that charge massive fees for writing fancy AI-themed reports.
