Infosys Founder Narayana Murthy Uses ChatGPT to Cut Speech Preparation Time Fivefold

Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy has embraced the use of AI, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT, to significantly enhance his productivity in preparing speeches and lectures, reducing his preparation time from around 25-30 hours to just five. He credits his son Rohan Murty for introducing him to the tool and emphasizes that the key to effective AI use lies in asking the right questions to receive helpful responses. Murthy views AI as an augmentative technology that can accelerate tasks such as coding, reduce errors, and allow professionals to focus on more complex problems, rather than replacing jobs. Drawing parallels with the introduction of computers in the 1970s banking sector, he believes AI will similarly create new opportunities and jobs while improving productivity. Despite concerns about job displacement, Murthy remains optimistic that AI will enhance growth in the tech industry by helping programmers and analysts define better and more complex requirements. His perspective encourages a balanced view of AI as a tool to support human capabilities and foster innovation.
