Technology shouldn’t create fear in the minds of users: CJI D Y Chandrachud

Contending that artificial intelligence (AI) represents not just a new frontier but a rapidly evolving one, Chief Justice of India Justice D Y Chandrachud on Saturday advocated the need for ensuring that such technologies don’t create fear in the minds of users as they could directly impact their ability in expressing thoughts in a “free and open” manner.

In his address at the 60th convocation ceremony of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) here, the CJI termed technology as a freedom enhancing source and exhorted graduating students to find out ambit of opportunities for “many people in India” who cannot effectively exercise their freedom due to lack of access to required resources.
