This should be commensurate with awareness of responsible and ethical use of AI without curbing innovation, they said at the second edition of The Economic Times Digital Transformation Dialogues in Bengaluru, moderated by ET's Beena Parmar. The technology services world is moving towards the platforms and products operating model, which will increasingly rely «not on seniority or experience, but on your ability to deliver on your role,» said Sandhya Arun, chief technology officer at Wipro, which operates in an industry where revenue has traditionally been linked to the headcount. «A role itself has many tasks.

Krishna Byre Gowda on Wednesday. Under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, by the central government, any will or gift deed made in favor of neglectful children can be legally revoked, he said while speaking in the Legislative Council. «In recent times, we have seen a growing number of cases where elderly parents are left without care,» Gowda said while responding to a question from Balkees Banu, a member of the council. " If children or relatives neglect their elderly parents, the seniors have the legal right to revoke any will or gift deed made in their name,” he added.
