Rampur/Ludhiana, July 9, 2024: The fears being created about Artificial Intelligence (AI) are baseless, we should know about today's technology and its applications for its people-friendly and creative use. These thoughts were expressed by journalist, translator, and writer Deep Jagdeep Singh during the monthly meeting of Punjabi Writers' Association Rampur in the seminar hall of the association's library, with a large attendance of members. 

This meeting was held under the Writer's Dialogue series of Punjabi Writers' Association Rampur, presided over by the association's president Anil Fatehgarh Jattan. At the beginning of the meeting, the association's president Anil Fatehgarh Jattan welcomed the writers. The meeting expressed condolences for the recently departed writer Harbhajan Mangat and Tej Kaur, sister of writer Netar Mutto.

Afterwards, under the Writer's Dialogue series, a conversation was held on the topic of Artificial Intelligence with Deep Jagdeep Singh, an executive board member of Punjabi Sahitya Akademi Ludhiana who is working to make the mother tongue contemporary through technology. Speaking on this topic, Deep Jagdeep Singh said that humans have always been imitating nature. He made aeroplanes by observing birds and cameras by observing eyes. Now he has also created Artificial Intelligence that mimics human intelligence. We should know about this in today's time. A lack of information about this can cause great harm. He called the fear about AI baseless. He said that it might take another century for AI to surpass humans. At the peak of the discussion, the writers present asked Deep Jagdeep serious and pointed questions about this topic, which he answered with ease. This thoughtful discussion has initiated a new initiative in the literary world.
