Artificial intelligence (AI) has huge potential to enhance human creativity, said Professor J. Ranganathan, Honorary Consul for Myanmar.
Addressing an international seminar on ‘Digital Dreamscapes: Youth Navigating AI, Creativity and Virtual Expression’ jointly organized by the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) at the campus here, Mr. Ranganathan said that AI is not just a technical tool but a powerful medium that can enhance creative expression.
“Artificial intelligence does not reduce creativity. Instead, it offers tremendous opportunities to enhance it. In today’s fast-changing digital environment, where information spreads instantly, students should approach innovation with awareness and responsibility. He encouraged them to cultivate adaptability, continuous learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. “Young minds should not limit their creativity to narrow boundaries, but should expand it explore. While the digital world provides countless templates and algorithms, authenticity remains the greatest asset to students,” he said.
The seminar also featured speeches by distinguished international speakers, including Philip Ross Hull, Director of International Student Services at Central Missouri University, USA; Professor Rajagopal Gururajan of the University of Southern Queensland, Australia; and Associate Professor Raj Srinivasan of the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Sankar Viswanathan, Vice President of VIT was present on the occasion.
