Titled “Ghost in the Machine or a Colleague at the Desk? Generative AI and the Evolution of Work,” this paper was presented at the National Seminar on Role of Artificial Intelligence in Commerce and Management (RAICM).

It explores whether Gen AI is a threat or an ally in the evolving world of work — and how humans must remain the thinkers, sense-makers, and idea leaders in this transformation.

Grateful to the Telangana State Council for Higher Education and Dr. BRR Government Degree College, Jadcherla, for the opportunity to contribute and engage with the academic community.

This is just the beginning. More to come.
