Debate is between AI vs human intelligence HI, says Dharmendra Pradhan

Artificial intelligence (AI) and digitisation are the order of the day, and the debate now is about balancing this with human intelligence (HI), Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan said on Wednesday.

Addressing India Global Forum's (IGF) UK-India Week summit from his office in New Delhi, the minister joined UK Education Secretary Gillian Keegan in London to highlight the many areas of bilateral cooperation in the field of education and also two-way skills exchanges.

"India and the UK are very dependable and old partners in the area of knowledge and education," said Pradhan.

"We don't have the option to judge whether it is good or bad; AI and ChatGPT are there today as new tools to create ease of living in society. Now, the debate is going on about god-gifted human intelligence. This is a debate between artificial intelligence, AI, versus human intelligence, HI digitisation is the order of the day, and globalisation, mobility and the future skills are the need of the hour
