Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be a good opportunity if one is positioned properly. The Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, while interacting with the students at the University of Texas at Dallas, spoke about the fears that AI is going to take jobs away. He said that every new technology takes away some jobs and generates new ones.

"Everytime you get a new technology, the argument is made that it`s going to take jobs away. When computers first came [it was feared that] it`s going to take jobs away. When calculators first came [it was feared that] it`s going to take jobs away. ATMs came [it was feared that] it`s going to take jobs away. What happens is- it does take jobs away from some people and then transfers them to other people. I`m not of the view that jobs will vanish, but different types of jobs will be created and different types of systems will benefit more or less," Gandhi said.
