Amid widespread concerns about job losses due to AI, RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka recently shared an optimistic perspective: Artificial Intelligence will not eliminate work—it will reinvent it. His message is clear: AI is disrupting the workplace, but those who adapt will thrive.
What Harsh Goenka Said
In a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), Goenka outlined emerging job roles that AI will enable:
“Will AI take my job? What new jobs is AI creating? AI will disrupt work & reinvent it. There will be new jobs like prompt engineers, AI product managers, AI ethics specialists & the workplace landscape will change. New winners will be the smartest & most adaptable.”
Key Jobs Emerging in the AI Era
| Job Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Prompt Engineer | Crafts effective prompts for AI tools to get accurate, reliable outputs |
| AI Product Manager | Aligns AI development with real business needs and customer experiences |
| AI Ethics Expert | Ensures AI systems are fair, unbiased, and aligned with legal/ethical norms |
These roles highlight the growing importance of combining technical skills with human judgment.
What Industry Experts Are Saying
Other leaders echo Goenka’s view:
- Akash Ambani (Jio): AI will transform—not replace—jobs.
- C.P. Gurnani (Tech Mahindra): Generative AI will create more jobs than it replaces.
However, not everyone agrees:
- Mo Gawdat, ex-Google X: “The idea that AI will create new jobs is 100% crap.” He predicts white-collar collapse by 2027.
Social Media Reacts
Reactions to Goenka’s post were mixed:
- “AI won’t take your job, but someone who knows how to use AI might.”
- “We still need human empathy, ethics, and emotional intelligence.”
- Some skeptics warn of job losses in creative, IT, and back-office roles first.
