Addressing the graduating students, Dr. B. V. R. Mohan Reddy, said,ย โThe world youโre walking through today will change dramatically in the next few years. I understand your apprehensions – will AI take away jobs? Will machines replace us? Will machines be obsolete before I get a chance to use them? I heard versions like these all through my career. People earlier feared computers and the internet. However, every single wave of technology created more opportunities than destroyed it. Technology does not replace human effort. It augments it. The future belongs to people with curiosity, judgement empathy, and integrity, who pair them with AI. AI is not a threat; it is just a tool. In the new world, the most valuable asset is not what you already know, but what you continue to learn.โ
