Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is relevant. In this AI-employment article, Murthy is explicitly responding to fears that AI will eliminate jobs and says that such fears are wrong because the technology will create new kinds of jobs; the surrounding source also frames him as arguing AI creates employment opportunities rather than replacing workers. That makes a supportive stance on the complete statement substantially more likely, even if the quote itself does not numerically spell out "more than it destroys."

AI Verified He rejects the idea that technology/AI "will take away jobs" and says "It will create a different kind of job"; the article frames this as Murthy dismissing AI job-elimination fears and arguing it "creates rather than destroys employment," which strongly implies support for AI creating more jobs than it destroys.
