NEW DELHI: Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan delivered the valedictory address at the concluding session of ‘PadhAI: Conclave on AI in Education’, organised by the Center of Policy Research and Governance (CPRG), in New Delhi.
Pradhan said that Artificial Intelligence is not just a technology but a force multiplier and a catalyst for innovation. It is a bridge between empathy and technology, he added.
“The time has come for the country’s human intelligence to lead the AI revolution currently unfolding,” he said.
Pradhan mentioned the significant initiatives taken by the government on AI, such as establishing the Centre of Excellence in AI, and the announcement to leverage AI in Indian languages and promote critical thinking in classrooms—initiatives that are helping in the transition from chalkboards to chipsets.
