ArmInfo. Artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace people, but rather those who don't use AI. Mariam Hambardzumyan, co-founder of the investment company TCF, expressed a similar viewpoint during a panel discussion "HR: The Role of Human Potential in the Second Quarter of the 21st Century - a New Era of the Relevance of the Tasks at Hand," being held as part of the International PLUS Forum FinnoWay Armenia 2025.
She noted that today it is difficult to fully appreciate the changes taking place. "This is a revolution unlike anything seen in human history, and there is no one today who fully understands what specific changes are coming," Hambardzumyan said According to the co-founder of TCF, it's essential to recognize it today and continue to develop. So far, in her opinion, nothing terrible has happened or changed, but in five years, the transformation will be tectonic.
During a panel discussion, Ishkhan Margaryan, Deputy Director and HR Director at Data Art, noted that the labor market has become more efficient with the implementation of AI. "What used to take us two hours can now be accomplished in two to ten minutes. We can say that we are moving toward a better life," he noted.
However, according to the expert, all AI-related processes should be viewed not "with their bellies" but from a perspective that extends beyond it and, for example, to villages where people are actively engaged in agriculture. "We will clearly see that life will not change as quickly as we imagine. AI will not change our reality anytime soon. And I personally don't expect such dramatic changes within the next 10 years," Margaryan emphasized.
Vahan Melkumyan, Head of Ameriabank's People Platform Product, noted that despite changes in the speed, dynamics, capabilities, and abilities, the role of humans will remain unchanged. "Whatever happens, humans will be at the epicenter of these events, since all changes affect our lives," he noted.
Melkumyan noted that today, humans need to adapt, learn, and take advantage of all the opportunities these changes offer.
"We often talk about the risks of AI, but we shouldn't forget the numerous opportunities that can be taken advantage of," he concluded.
