The talk was organized by Talks India and Kottayam Public Library. Mr. Balakrishnan provided a brief explanation of what AI is and addressed the common fears associated with it. He also gave a concise overview of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the role of AI in education. Two of our students raised questions about whether the critical thinking abilities of children might be reduced due to overexposure to AI tools. They also wanted to know how soon AI is expected to develop expertise related to understanding and processing human emotions. In response, Mr. Balakrishnan advised embracing new technology rather than fearing it, noting that similar concerns have accompanied every technological advancement, such as the invention of the steam engine or the computer.
