Ten months after the former CEO of Infosys, Vishal Sikka, resigned from his post following a cold war between him and the company promoters, Sikka unveiled his plans for future, and they seem promising. During a conference in Silicon Valley on Friday, Sikka said he was working on an artificial intelligence venture, which would use latest technology to take human creativity to the next level.  

The report says his conference focussed on debunking the debate around AI that claims the technology would lead to automation at the middle level and hence, the destruction of workforce. Sikka, whose venture is in early stages, said people need to be educated about AI as not many people in the world right now are well-versed with the technology. Sikka said fewer than 250,000 people in the world know about machine learning so far, and that its deeper understanding of the technology would lead to broader applications.

"As I look at the future, I am personally extremely excited about doing something in that area (AI), something that fundamentally improves the world," Sikka told Knoledge@Wharton in February.
