The dignitaries shared their insights on the future of AI and its integration in educational spaces.
Ms. Nandini Shekhar said, “Human touch is critical in educational spaces and it is something
that AI cannot replace.” Ms Richa spoke about the inbuilt biases in AI and how is it important to
have one’s own perspective while using AI. Ms. Dimple Puri explained the significance of cyber
security and data privacy for students while using AI. Ms Sushma Punia emphasized on
changing mindset of parents and teachers in usage of AI. Mr. Saurabh Sehgal explained how AI
can help in accurate assessment for students in collaboration with teachers, explaining that, “AI
suggests, teacher decides.”
The conclusion drawn from the panel discussion was that as we move ahead, the challenge is
not just to adopt AI but to adopt it responsibly with focus on ethics and inclusivity. The future of
learning is not about choosing teachers and technology, but about creating harmony between
the wisdom and curiosity of students, guided and enhanced by AI.
