The future of work and data security is going to be strongly affected by technological innovations and disruptions. According to the reportThrough The Risk Lensby Deloitte India, artificial intelligence (AI) will displace 40 per cent of the world's current tasks, and similar disruptors will help create 1.75 million technology-enabled jobs.
