AI & the future of work
Dr Prashant Warier
Founder and CEO, Qure.ai
Abstract: Artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape work at a speed few institutions are prepared for. Tasks that once required years of training can now be performed, assisted, or accelerated by machines that learn and improve continuously. As this capability spreads, the foundations of how organizations operate and how individuals create value are starting to shift. The question is no longer whether AI will change work, but how deeply it will transform the roles we play, the skills we develop, and the systems we build around human potential.
Prashant Warier is the Founder and CEO of Qure.ai, a global health technology company leveraging artificial intelligence to make healthcare more accessible and equitable. A technologist and entrepreneur, he has built Qure.ai into one of the world’s most recognized AI innovators, with solutions that support frontline health workers in detecting lung cancer, stroke, tuberculosis, and other critical conditions quickly and accurately.
Under his leadership, Qure.ai’s technology is deployed in more than 105 countries and has benefited over 34 million people. Its impact spans advanced health systems in the United States and the United Kingdom, remote primary care settings across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, and even the Everest ER at Mount Everest Base Camp — the world’s highest-altitude primary care facility.
Prashant is a TEDx speaker and a recognized thought leader at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare innovation, and global health equity. In 2025, he was named among Forbes India’s Top 30 AI Minds and received The Economic Times Startup Award for Top Innovator. That same year, Qure.ai was featured on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list and was recognized by The Times and Statista as one of the Most Innovative Healthcare Companies in the World. He previously received the Forbes India Leadership Award in 2021 for pioneering AI-powered rapid diagnostics during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prashant holds more than 35 patents and earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in Operations Research from the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, along with a bachelor’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi.
