President Droupadi Murmu on Friday said that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a priority area for the entire world, adding that AI will open up opportunities for youths in various sectors.
Speaking at the 14th convocation of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Raipur, President Murmu said that the development of technology depends on science. "The Nobel Prize winners of Physics and Chemistry for the year 2024, have been selected for their work related to Artificial Intelligence," she added. She said that from artificial neural networks to exploration of micro-RNA and prediction of protein structure, such tasks based on the use of Artificial Intelligence could be done only by rising above the traditional boundaries of science and technology. President Murmu stated that the interdisciplinary approach would encourage innovation in the field of engineering too. "The whole world is giving priority to the subject of Artificial Intelligence. India is a founding member of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence," she added. She noted that AI would have a deep impact in social, political, economic, strategic and many other areas. "AI would open many new avenues for our young engineers," she said. The President said that developing low-cost solutions to local problems should be the priority of management, faculty and students of all higher education institutions. "Their professional perspective should be global but local people should also benefit from their expertise. The 'Think Global, Act Local' policy is very relevant for the students and faculty of higher education institutions," she added. The President advised students to decide their priorities and determine their life values and asked them if they would work only for their personal development and success or would also worry about society and country. "If they want to move ahead alone in the race for success or they would take along those who are left behind. If they would compromise moral values for material success," she said. President Murmu said that working for the welfare of others makes personal life meaningful and improves social life. "The more they expand the scope of their contribution, the greater their personal growth will be," she said. President Murmu also released the 9th instalment of the Mahtari Vandana Yojana. During this, a tribal dance group performed a dance in front of the President. The president is on a two-day visit to Chhattisgarh and where she attended the convocation of AIIMS and NIT in the capital Raipur. (ANI)
