Justice Surya Kant, Judge at the Supreme Court of India and Visitor of RGNUL Punjab, was the chief guest. He referenced Darwin’s quote, “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, but the most responsive to change,” noting AI has evolved from a theoretical concept to a tangible reality. However, he cautioned the risks of bias, prejudices and historical inequities must not persist in the AI world.
