Tech CEO: AI Creating Jobs, Not Destroying Them
The head of a major IT company says the fear around AI replacing workers is overstated. Instead, every technology shift in history has created more jobs than it eliminated.
Mohit Joshi has a message that cuts through the AI anxiety: stop worrying about robots taking your job and start thinking about what AI can help you accomplish.
The CEO of Tech Mahindra, an IT services company with over 17,000 employees across Europe, spoke at the World Governments Summit in Dubai about why the panic around artificial intelligence is missing the bigger picture. "A lot of the narrative has been around job losses. I feel that the narrative is widely overstated," Joshi told reporters.
His company works at the cutting edge of AI implementation, giving him a front-row seat to how businesses actually use the technology. What he's seeing isn't mass layoffs. It's companies investing more in technology and creating new opportunities.
"Every single technology shift has meant job creation," Joshi explained. He pointed out that large companies are expected to spend significantly more on technology as AI becomes mainstream, creating what he calls an "important tailwind" for the tech industry.
The CEO also addressed why so many AI projects seem to fail. An MIT study from 2025 found that 95 percent of enterprise AI pilots didn't deliver measurable returns. Joshi says the problem isn't the technology itself but how companies approach it.
Many pilots were never designed with real-world use cases in mind. Others stumbled because companies rushed into production without ensuring their data quality, cybersecurity, and safeguards against bias were ready.
Why This Inspires
Joshi's perspective offers a refreshing counter-narrative to the doom and gloom surrounding artificial intelligence. Rather than viewing AI as a threat, he sees it as an enabler that will help workers do their jobs better and companies serve customers more effectively.
The shift is already happening. Over the past year, most AI use cases focused on improving customer experience. Going forward, Joshi says businesses will use AI to drive revenue growth, opening up entirely new roles and opportunities.
His optimism isn't baseless speculation. It's grounded in the historical pattern that innovation creates more opportunities than it eliminates, even when the change feels scary in the moment.
The conversation around AI is finally shifting from fear to possibility, one leader at a time.
