Description:
AI wont completely replace humans, and might even make us better overall,
Michael Dell tells TechRadar Pro.

FULL STORY

The CEO of Dell Technologies has told TechRadar Pro that AI offers a great
opportunity for organizations to re-evaluate themselves to positive effect 

Speaking at a media Q&A session at Dell Technologies World 2025 , Michael 
Dell looked to reassure us that AI will never fully replace human workers, 
and in fact may offer them a whole new outlook. 

In a wide-ranging discussion, Dell also laid out his views on political
instability affecting the technology industry, and some of his key leadership
principles.

"Always some change" 

The way I think about this is that if you look at every progress, thats for
any technology, you always have some change that goes on, Dell said in
response to our question about AI affecting or even replacing human workers. 

My way of thinking is theres probably a 10 percent effect for that - but I
think 90 percent of that is actually growth and expansion and opportunity, 
and ultimately what I think youre going to see is more opportunities, more
economic growth. 

There are a lot of things that we dont do, that we used to do, because we 
have the tools, and were more effective as a species because of that - (using
AI) is just another example of that. 

One of the keys beyond productivity and efficiency I think for organizations,
is to reimagine themselves, and say, alright, what is the trajectory of these
capabilities, where is it going, and what should our activity look like in
three years, five years time, given this capability. 

You know, a lot of roles today just didnt exist 10, 20, 30 years ago - and
no-one was forecasting that.

Having spoken with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in his opening keynote, Dell was
also asked if the two shared any overarching leadership principles. 

I think anytime theres a new technology, you have to leap ahead (and think),
what is the likely impact of this, and how do we need to change? And if we
dont have a passion around that, or there isnt a crisis in your organization 
- make one! We think it can make us a better company. 

Dell was also asked about how changing global economic and political
situations might affect the companys future outlook.

We agree that those are issues and challenges, he said, in my general view,
the importance of this technology is greater than all those problems - and I
heard somebody say recently, tokens are bigger than tariffs - and that would
sort of summarize our view of it. 

Are all those things helpful to our business? No, theyre not - but theres a
limit of what we can do about that, right? We can certainly do the things 
were supposed to do, and focus on the things we can control - were seeing
plenty of companies that are dealing with all those challenges just as we 
are, and powering ahead in any case.
