AI Can Do It Faster. But Can You Do It Better. | Ankur Khare | TEDxCMRIT Hyderabad

AI is changing the way we work—not simply replacing jobs, but redefining the skills we need to stay relevant. This talk encourages us to move beyond fear and embrace curiosity, learning, adaptability, and human judgment. AI can give us speed, but we bring the judgment, creativity, and unique value. Ankur Khare is a Senior Solution Advisor in Customer AI Innovation Services at SAP America, where he helps enterprises navigate AI-driven transformation through S/4HANA implementation, digital adoption strategy, and organizational change management. With over 18 years of global experience across India, East Africa, and the United States, he brings a practitioner’s perspective to enterprise AI adoption, backed by published research through IEEE and Springer and a patent in AI-powered HRM systems. He is a Fellow of the British Computer Society (FBCS) and an active IEEE member and conference chair. At TEDx, Ankur presents his 5C framework — Curiosity, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Character, and Courage — a roadmap for how individuals and organizations can become true catalysts for change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
