RANCHI: President Droupadi Murmu graced the platinum jubilee celebrations of BIT Mesra at Ranchi in Jharkhand on February 15.
Speaking on the occasion, she said, “Ours is the age of technology. New advances in the field of information technology have changed the way we live. What was unthinkable till yesterday has become reality. The coming years are going to be even more dramatic with far-reaching advances expected particularly in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.”
“As AI rapidly transforms economies, the Government of India has been quick in responding to the emerging scenario. Several initiatives are being taken to integrate AI in higher education institutions,” she said.
The President said as technology creates great disruptions in societies, we should remain concerned about its impact on the marginalised groups. “The great opportunities being created should be available to all. The great transformations being brought about should benefit all,” she said.

She advised the youth to not forget the importance of small-scale, traditional solutions. “Innovators and entrepreneurs must not ignore the knowledge base of traditional communities,” Murmu said.
