संपादक की कलम
On Gyaan, Sanskar, and Kaushal in the age of AI.
We live in remarkable times. A generation that once marvelled at the telephone now holds devices that translate languages, diagnose illnesses, and converse with us in ways our forebears would have called miraculous. Science has always expanded what humans can do; AI, in many ways, is beginning to mirror how we think.
Yet, as an educator, I return to a simple truth: technology, however advanced, is never an end in itself. The purpose we give it is entirely ours to decide. An AI system can summarise a chapter in seconds. But can it recognise the hesitation in a first-generation learner’s voice? Can it teach a child the dignity of honest effort, or the courage to question? These remain the sacred domain of the human teacher.
At BITE, we believe education is the confluence of Gyaan, Sanskar, and Kaushal — knowledge, values, and skill. Science gives us knowledge. AI sharpens our skill. But Sanskar is what makes us human.
