Balancing AI usage with opportunities for creative problem-solving and innovation is recommended for companies, according to Nikhil Nanda. In the recruitment industry, AI is seen as beneficial for creating job content, analyzing candidate skills, and providing market trend insights. Employers seek candidates with critical thinking, innovation, and emotional skills, emphasizing the importance of using technology wisely while preserving creativity and self-development.
