Actor Shabana Azmi emphasised that the world of art was being transformed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and that artistes must undergo diverse training to adjust to these changes.
Speaking at the convocation of Techno India University on Monday, the 73-year-old actor made these remarks.
"I grew up in an environment which taught us that art be used as an instrument of social change," she said.
"AI is changing the world of art. AI is threatening but (handling) it also requires training. It offers great possibilities in different disciplines ranging from sports to literature. Artistes require different kinds of training to adapt to the changes brought about by AI. I feel we need to give AI the respect it deserves," she added.
