Nitin Seth Shares Strategic Insights on Thriving in The AI Age
Chitkara University organised an engaging masterclass for the students of Computer Science Engineering in Artificial Intelligence, offering an in-depth exploration of the evolving intersection between technology and human capability. The session was conducted by Nitin Seth, Co-founder and CEO of Incedo, who shared perspectives from his recent book Human Edge in the AI Age, a work that examines how individuals can adapt, excel and lead in a world shaped by intelligent systems.
During the masterclass, Nitin Seth addressed the changing demands of the digital era and emphasised that while AI will continue to influence every industry, it cannot replace the fundamental strengths that define human potential. He discussed the lasting importance of creativity, empathy, judgement and leadership, explaining how these qualities will drive impact in environments where machines perform analytical tasks with precision and efficiency. The interactive session allowed students to reflect on the skills that will differentiate professionals in the future and how they can prepare themselves to meet emerging challenges.
He also shared insights on entrepreneurship, urging students to go beyond conventional career aspirations and to think as innovators and problem-solvers who build opportunities rather than only seek them. He described entrepreneurship as a responsibility as much as a career choice, one that contributes to economic resilience by creating employment and encouraging a mindset of accountability, initiative and self-belief. The students engaged actively with his ideas and participated in discussions about how entrepreneurs can shape industries through purposeful innovation.
The session provided a holistic view of the AI-driven future and helped students understand the balance between technological intelligence and human character. Through real-world examples and structured frameworks, the discussion offered clarity on how young professionals can prepare for a future that demands both analytical skills and emotional intelligence. The University’s faculty appreciated the session for its relevance to emerging industry trends and its contribution to broadening students’ perspectives on responsible leadership.
Chitkara University continues to design learning experiences that address the needs of the evolving world and equip students to think critically about the role of technology in society. By inviting industry thought leaders and providing platforms for meaningful dialogue, the University aims to nurture professionals who can lead with competence, clarity and purpose in the age of intelligent technologies.
