While AI is expected to transform job markets, experts consistently point out that critical thinking, problem-solving, and domain expertise remain highly valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AI continues to integrate into sectors such as finance, healthcare, software development, and education, leaders across industries are encouraging young professionals to adapt while maintaining strong intellectual foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murthy\u2019s remarks serve as a reminder that technology can amplify talent \u2014 but it cannot replace genuine knowledge and disciplined thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has shared a measured perspective on the growing influence of artificial intelligence, urging young Indians to treat AI as a tool for enhancement rather than a replacement for independent thinking.
