He also spoke about Artificial Intelligence and its significant effect in future. Dr Sahoo while addressing the students and parents remarked on the importance of imbibing Indian values. He said, “our children must be encouraged to learn about tradition and culture and they must learn to seek blessings from parents and grandparents by touching the feet of one’s parents or any elders”.
Dr. Sahoo envisions that when SAIoneers interact positively with their good conduct and behavior, the external world will be impressed with value centrism, with class apart upbringing which will be highly noticeable in community. He emphasized that the students must assimilate the knowledge in a proper manner and internalize the learnings so as to strengthen their own inner self.
