SAP Labs India Managing Director Sindhu Gangadharan hopes
the Indian unit will scale up its share of global SAP patents to 50 percent
from 25 percent currently, she said in an interview on the sidelines of an
event in Bengaluru.
The company, which looks to double its AI talent base by
2024, expects "3,000 new joinees to enter the organisation every
year", Gangadharan said, in a bid to quell fears that the rise of the
emerging technology could hurt job growth.
SAP Labs India, which employs over 15,000 people, aims to
embed generative AI across its products to cater better to the changing needs
of its clients ranging from Thermax to Dabur India.
"Through AI, India can solidify its IT supremacy,"
Gangadharan had said in the event, earlier in the day.
The comments come as SAP looks to "double down" on
investments in India, its fastest growing region and home to 40 percent of its
global Research and Development (R&D) activity.
From banks to big tech, companies across the world have
advanced on investments in AI following the massive success of ChatGPT, a
generative AI chatbot by Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
Gangadharan, while referring to the regulation of AI, said
there should be a "great amount of responsibility barriers with
flexibility to the end-user".
Her comments come after ChatGPT creator Sam Altman called
for self-regulation in June as governments across the world race to regulate
the use of AI tools. © Reuters
