In his address at the 13th graduation ceremony of the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), he said that with the rapid changes taking place in the field of science and technology, the threat of its curse always remains.
“New technological developments are providing capabilities to human society, but at the same time, they are also creating new challenges for humanity,” the President said, citing the example of the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9. and generative AI, where images or videos of fake events are digitally manipulated.
"CRISPR-Cas9 has made gene editing much easier. This technology is a big step towards solving many incurable diseases. However, problems related to ethical and social issues are also arising due to the use of this technology Similarly, the problem of deepfakes and many regulatory challenges are emerging in the field of generative artificial intelligence,'' he said.
Furthermore, the President said that experiments and research in the field of fundamental sciences often take a lot of time to get results. He said that similarly "successes" are achieved in life too, but after facing disappointments for many years.
He advised that in such situations, where "patience is tested" one should never lose heart.
The President also called on students to use their education and knowledge "for the betterment and upliftment of humanity" and "discharge their social duties with full accountability".
