Technology Should Be Servant, Not Master, Say Experts

New Delhi: Technology should be servant, not master, said experts, in the third episode of Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025, on Thursday.

In the episode, Radhika Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of Edelweiss Asset Management and Technical Guruji Gaurav Chaudhary, discussed with students on how to make the best use of technology, while not being completely dependent on it.

"In the professional context, if our skills are overtaken by technology, it becomes an issue. I want to make technology my servant, not my master,” said Gupta. She noted that she would not want to rely on AI, but do it on her own, even if it may take longer.

“My passion is writing, framing sentences, and playing with words -- I don’t want AI to write an 800-word essay for me; I want to do it myself. I constantly remind myself not to rely on AI for this, even if it takes longer...," said Gupta. Chaudhary said that while technology has made our lives easier, over time we have become more dependent on technology, such that it has affected our ability to memorise simple things like phone numbers.
