Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and tech pioneer Bill Gates engaged in a dialogue about the role of AI in India and globally, including the topic of Deepfake technology.
PM Modi voiced his concerns about the potential misuse of AI, stating, “If we use AI as a magic tool, it will perhaps lead to a grave injustice. If AI is relied on out of laziness…then it is the wrong path.” He also suggested a competition with ChatGPT, an advanced AI model, emphasizing the importance of human effort and intelligence in the face of AI.
Bill Gates, while acknowledging the transformative potential of AI, also highlighted its unpredictable nature. “These are early days in AI…It will do things that you think are hard and then it will fail to something which you think is easy,” he noted. Despite the challenges, Gates sees AI as a significant opportunity that needs to be harnessed wisely.
The conversation between PM Modi and Bill Gates offers valuable insights into the dual nature of AI – its potential to transform and the challenges it presents. As AI continues to advance, it will be crucial to see how India and the world navigate its potential and pitfalls.
