SILICON BHARAT: BRIDGING KIRANAS AND KLICKS THROUGH THE AI-HUMAN PARTNERSHIP (AI IN BUSINESS, FINANCE, AND COMMERCE)
The acceleration of technological progress has been swift, often displaying a higher intellectual capacity than human intelligence. The unveiling of Sophia, the lifelike robot, in 2017 symbolized this shift. However, as AI integrates into everyday life, questions arise regarding the threat to humanity and our ability to control such development. This paper explores the transition of the Indian business landscape specifically in commerce and finance from reactive to proactive systems. By utilizing the "Mirror of Intent" framework, it argues that technology is a reflection of collective human intent. Through case studies of Indian giants like Amul, HUL, and SBI, the paper demonstrates how AI unburdens humans from "robotic" tasks, allowing a shift from "workers" to "pilots" who lead with creativity and empathy.
