The Dr. Pritam Singh Foundation, in collaboration with IILM University, hosted a discussion on “Human at Core: AI, Ethics, and the Future” at Tech Mahindra, Cyberabad, on Saturday, in memory of the late Dr. Pritam Singh, a noted academic.
After launching the discussion, Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar highlighted the ethical challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI), warning against algorithmic bias, threats to data privacy, and job displacement.
