<h1>Venture capitalist predicts AI will replace IT and BPO jobs within five years, urges national ID-linked deployment</h1> A venture capitalist told a delegation at an industry forum that AI will replace traditional IT and BPO roles within five years, causing large-scale workforce displacement while offering productivity gains and new commercial opportunities. He urged the country to lead AI-driven global services and to deploy AI domestically in healthcare and education, proposing integration with the national ID system to enable nationwide, low-cost delivery. The remarks highlight potential legal and policy issues including mass employment disruption, data protection and privacy concerns from ID-linked AI services, regulatory oversight for AI-driven social infrastructure, and the need for workforce transition policies.
