Navrachana University Hosts AI DAY 2026 to Promote Practical Understanding of Artificial Intelligence

Prof. Sandeep Vasant, Director, Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), said – “There is often discussion about a technology gap, but equally important is the human gap — the ability and willingness to adapt. While AI is augmenting human capabilities, the human-in-the-loop will always remain pivotal. Those who choose not to engage with it meaningfully may find themselves left behind. History offers perspective — when computers were first introduced, similar concerns were raised about replacement. Instead, humans became integral to their effective use. Artificial Intelligence may reshape certain roles or reduce routine tasks, but it cannot replace human contribution when individuals are equipped and prepared to integrate it thoughtfully. Ultimately, AI will reward those who adapt alongside it.”

Throughout the day, discussions progressed from applied AI scenarios and implementation misconceptions to cost-versus-benefit assessments and models for long-term integration. Emphasis was laid on bridging both technological and human readiness gaps, ensuring that adoption strengthens rather than replaces human judgment.
