The students perspectives included fresher Anushika who shared her journey within the club, while Palak Verma motivated the audience by reflecting on the power of words, concluding with Samuel Johnson’s famous quote “Language is the dress of thought”.
The Expert Discourse after being felicitated by Ms. Devina Krishna, Dr. Shweta Sinha delivered a comprehensive lecture on: The mechanics of “Neural Networks”and Machine Learning, “Natural Language Processing (NLP)” and its role in cyberspace, the prevalence of “gender and cultural stereotypes” embedded in AI-generated translations, Sentiment analysis and the use of Hindi metaphors to identify deep-seated biases in data.
Dr. Sinha utilized real-life examples to demonstrate how human biases are often “engraved” into AI algorithms. She challenged the students to think critically about the ethical considerations of AI, emphasizing that while technology is a powerful tool, it must be monitored to prevent the reinforcement of social prejudices.
