about banner

While the evolution of technology offers vast opportunities, it also poses risks and challenges for students, teachers and society. It is essential for students and educators to understand both the potential and limitations of AI, critically evaluate its trustworthiness and thoughtfully examine its ethical implications. Government school students and teachers must not be passive recipients of AI but empowered participants. AI Samarth marks the first step in equipping them to become active co-creators and future leaders who will shape the next wave of AI and technological innovation.”
