AI’s Growing Role in Society: Insights from Kannur University

So, there was this really interesting event at Kannur University where Ajith Balakrishnan, the CEO of Rediff.com, spoke about AI's future impact. He said AI is more than just a new tech—it’s a total game-changer for industries like healthcare, education, and business. Imagine AI improving customer service with chatbots or revolutionizing patient care. It’s all about making things faster, more accurate, and creative with less effort.

But it’s not all smooth sailing. Balakrishnan also pointed out that while AI opens new career paths for those who embrace it, we’ve got to watch out for the ethical issues it brings. The session wrapped up with a call for using AI responsibly, so everyone benefits, not just a select few.
