Welcome to episode 33 of the Designing with Love podcast! In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Naveen Krishnan, an expert in the AI technology and cloud computing field.
What does the future of work look like when AI becomes your daily assistant? Microsoft AI Solutions Architect Naveen Krishnan offers a compelling glimpse into this reality, sharing how artificial intelligence already handles 30-40% of his daily tasks—and why that percentage will likely reach 70-80% soon.
Naveen's 16-year journey from electronics engineering in India to his current specialized AI role at Microsoft provides valuable context for understanding how rapidly technology careers can evolve. After working with global companies like PepsiCo, JP Morgan Chase, and Capital One, he joined Microsoft in 2021, initially as a Cloud Architect before diving deep into artificial intelligence. His passion for continuous learning—encapsulated in his philosophy that "what I know is just 1% and what I don't know is 99%"—has driven him to write technical blogs, develop AI applications, and even author a comprehensive 350-page book on AI fundamentals and applications.
For instructional designers and educators, Naveen offers practical advice: experiment with AI tools across all aspects of your work now, while the technology is still evolving. He encourages approaching repetitive or time-consuming tasks with the question: "Is there an AI tool that could help me do this more efficiently?" This mindset, combined with staying current on industry developments, positions professionals to thrive in an increasingly AI-enhanced workplace.
