Supriya Sule: "AI is Changing the World; New Changes Must Be Embraced"
Addressing a special event at a prominent educational complex, Member of Parliament Supriya Sule emphasized the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) and urged society to embrace the changes it brings. The gathering was attended by scientists, students, teachers, and technology experts from across India and abroad.
Sule shared her personal experiences with AI tools like ChatGPT and spoke about both the advantages and potential drawbacks of rapidly advancing technologies. “I use ChatGPT regularly and find it quite beneficial,” she said. Offering a light-hearted yet insightful example, Sule recounted asking ChatGPT about similarities between Baramati and Washington D.C. “It responded that both are centers of significant political activity. While Baramati isn’t an official capital, it holds considerable political importance. The platform also highlighted similarities in education, agriculture, and infrastructure development,” she explained.
While acknowledging the usefulness of AI, Sule also cautioned against excessive dependence on it. “Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly helpful, but we must not lose our ability to think independently. Over-reliance on machines may diminish the use of human intellect,” she warned.
Sule also invoked the vision of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who championed scientific progress and technological development. She expressed optimism about AI's potential to address critical global issues such as climate change and global warming. “In-depth study and accurate analysis of AI-driven data are crucial in today’s era,” she noted.
Concluding her speech, Sule stressed the importance of making AI accessible to all. “Technology should be affordable for the common man. As technology continues to evolve, we must stay informed and adapt to remain relevant,” she said.
With political leaders increasingly highlighting the role of AI and digital technologies in development, Sule’s thoughtful remarks offered a timely and instructive perspective on the responsible use of modern innovations.
