Assam: ‘Artificial Intelligence is not better than human brain’: Dr Devabrata Sharma Warns on 43rd Foundation Day of Dikhowmukh College

GAURISAGAR: Artificial Intelligence is not better than the human brain. Machines can do things that humans cannot do. AI is not a messenger sent by God, it is an advanced man-made technology. With the increasing dominance of AI in today’s society and the way people are embracing it, it is certain that one day it will bring terrible danger to human society. If we cannot control the advantages brought by sophisticated technology, one day that technology will destroy human emotions.
