Artificial Intelligence will play a crucial role in benefiting humans in the future and there has to be a greater involvement of youth to work on its applications, said P. Sathyanarayanan, Pro-Chancellor (Academics), SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) in Chennai on Tuesday.

Any application of AI should be used only for the benefit of humans and not for anything else.”
Vedprakash Mishra, Secretary General of the International Council of Global Network for Medical, Health Professionals and Bioethics Education, observed that with AI becoming an inevitable element in medical treatment, its concerns and challenges should be deliberated in detail.
