Tewari calls for balancing AI advancement with human values
Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari has emphasised that artificial intelligence (AI), despite its rapid progress, must be complemented by human wisdom, ethics and leadership. He made the remarks while addressing a management talk organised by the Chandigarh Management Association (CMA).
Tewari noted that India’s planned investment of approximately $1.1 billion in AI over the next five years is a significant step, placing it alongside investments by many developed countries. However, he cautioned that while the country is rightly focusing on promoting AI adoption and innovation, policymakers must also pay equal attention to its potential side-effects and the ethical, social and regulatory challenges to ensure responsible and safe development and use of this technology.
Session explores enduring importance of human intelligence
The thought-provoking session, titled “Beyond Artificial Intelligence: Why Human Intelligence Still Matters,” brought together industry leaders, entrepreneurs, former TCS startup mentors, academicians and management professionals to discuss the future of AI and the enduring importance of human leadership.
During his address, AIMA national council member Saurabh Aggarwal emphasised that artificial intelligence could truly bring transformative change only when it is guided by human values, responsible governance and strategic thinking. Renowned behavioural scientist Sanjeev P Sahni highlighted that qualities such as empathy, compassion, ethical decision-making and emotional intelligence are unique human capabilities that no technology can replicate.
