Chuck Robbins on Slow down AI development

Chuck Robbins

Chair and chief executive officer of Cisco.

I think the biggest thing...there is this whole debate about should we slow down AI or not. You are not going to slow it down. I mean, I just don't think that is going to happen.

AI will create more jobs than it destroys

Although AI will create new opportunities, it will also be responsible for 'carnage along the way' [...] some roles will be eliminated entirely, and others reshaped.
