AI Impact on Education - AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are causing a dramatic increase in students' writing skills, but concerns arise about whether students are truly learning and developing critical thinking abilities [4][5] - The traditional methods of problem-solving and resilience-building, exemplified by the IIT-JEE exam preparation and the "Concepts of Physics" book, are threatened by the easy availability of AI-generated solutions [7][8][9][10] - Educational institutions and AI companies need to collaborate to redefine evaluation methods and ensure future generations remain smarter than AI [11] AI Impact on Democracy - AI's ability to generate realistic fake videos poses a significant threat to democracy by potentially dividing, misleading, and brainwashing voters [12] - Policy makers, judiciary, election commissions, and AI companies must collaborate to develop software to detect fake videos and address the impact of social media in spreading misinformation [13][14] AI Impact on Environment - AI models rely on large datasets and data centers, leading to significant energy consumption, currently at 4-5% of the world's electricity and projected to reach 10% by 2030 [15][17] - The current electronic processors consume approximately 1 picojoule (pJ) of energy per bit of data processed, highlighting the need to transition to photonic processors, which consume only 1 femtojoule (fJ) per bit [17] - Research at IIT Delhi focuses on developing next-generation hollow-core optical fibers and photonic processors to reduce energy consumption and improve data transmission efficiency [18] General Observations - AI will impact all spheres of life, changing how people eat, think, read, and work [3][19] - It is everyone's responsibility to ensure AI is used responsibly and ethically [19]
