"The Role of AI in Research: Accelerating Discovery and Innovation" Lecture Delivered at the Faculty Development Program "Navigating the Digital Landscape: Next-Gen Communication Techniques for Teaching Pedagogy and Research Writing" @Knowledge Institute of Technology, Kakapalayam, Salem, Tamilnadu, India. January 24, 2025.
In this lecture, I clarify four generations of AI, synthetic intellect, synthetic mind, synthetic brain, and synthetic heart - known as humanoid, android, organoid, and spheroid. I discuss the rapid advancements in AI technology, its potential implications for India, and the need for awareness and education on these issues. I underline the importance of using AI for the good of India, and not relying solely on AI without understanding its limitations. I also note the importance of recognizing one's perfection, questioning existing research, and the potential of AI in guiding sustainable and ethical research practices in the context of ancient wisdom and futuristic epoch making changes.
