Indian President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday said Artificial Intelligence should not be an end but a means whose purpose is to enhance the quality of human life.

She said the ethical dilemmas arising with AI use should be resolved first.

While addressing  the 2nd convocation of Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Lucknow, Murmu said: "We are witnessing the beginning of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Artificial Intelligence is proving to be an important tool to make human life easier and increase productivity."

"With its wide applications, AI and Machine Learning are touching almost all aspects of our lives," she said.

She said: "In all areas like healthcare, education, agriculture, smart cities, infrastructure, smart mobility and transportation etc., AI and Machine Learning are presenting many opportunities to improve our efficiency and working capacity on a large scale.

The President said that AI and other contemporary technological developments offer unlimited and unprecedented developmental and transformative possibilities.

She said: "We have to remember that AI should not be an end but a means whose purpose is to enhance the quality of human life. She emphasised that every decision we take should benefit the person at the lowest rung."

 She said that the establishment of Incubation Center C.R.E.A.T.E. is a commendable step to make research and development accessible to the society by giving it an operational and tangible form.

She stated that the curriculum focused on Artificial Intelligence and its applications provides students with the necessary skills to navigate the new technological landscape.

She was happy to note that IIIT Lucknow is committed for solving the challenges faced by the society and industry and preparing students for the demands arising with time.
