‘No technology can…’: PM Modi’s take on AI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking on computer scientist Lex Fridman’s podcast, emphasized that no technology can ever replace the “boundless creativity and imagination” of the human mind.
“I believe that with AI, humans are now being forced to reflect on what it truly means to be human. This is the real power of AI. Because of the way AI functions, it has challenged how we perceive work itself. But human imagination is the fuel,” ANI quoted the Prime Minister as saying.
AI can create many things based on that, and in the future, it may achieve even more. Still, I firmly believe that no technology can ever replace the boundless creativity and imagination of the human mind.
He further added, “AI can create many things based on that, and in the future, it may achieve even more. Still, I firmly believe that no technology can ever replace the boundless creativity and imagination of the human mind.”
