Artificial Intelligence expert Clif Kussmaul spoke at the International Conclave of Generative AI and the Future of Education 3.0, hosted by the Institute of Human Resources Development on Friday. He said generative AI is a powerful tool but should not replace human thinking. Clif Kussmaul cautioned that blindly depending on AI could weaken education, research, and professional judgement. He explained where AI works well: summarizing content, searching huge data, handling repetitive tasks, and aiding programming. However, he warned these systems mostly use old internet data and often give outdated or wrong answers without admitting uncertainty. On job fears, he said, "Yes, some jobs will go away. But, we will also be able to do many more things that were not possible earlier before." He believes new technology generally creates more work, not less. Clif said AI’s real effect on education is in shifting learning goals. Overusing AI could damage core skills needed for deep thinking. He gave examples from writing, math, research, and programming to show AI does basic work well but struggles with complex tasks. With AI tools easily available, many universities are hurriedly making rules. Clif urged teachers to rethink what they test. He said, "If I am giving an exam and generative AI can answer all the questions on the exam, maybe I need to prevent students from using the tools. But, I should also be pondering on whether this is really what I want to be testing students on." The event's inaugural session was presided over by Director of Technical Education P. Jayaprakash. Other speakers included APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University VC Ciza Thomas, Kerala State Higher Education Council vice-chairperson Rajan Gurukkal, and IHRD Director V.A. Arun Kumar.
