Human judgement remains vital in age of AI, says EFLU Vice-Chancellor

Pune, Oct 11 (UNI) As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly transforms education, universities must focus on developing human judgement, critical thinking and ethical reasoning alongside technological skills, said Prof N Nagaraju, Vice-Chancellor of the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU), Hyderabad.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the 20th International and 56th Annual Conference of the English Language Teachers' Association of India (ELTAI), jointly organised by ELTAI and MIT Art, Design and Technology University (MIT-ADT), Loni Kalbhor, Pune, Nagaraju said AI literacy must become an integral part of all academic disciplines rather than remain confined to engineering and computer science.
While AI can assist with writing, information analysis and generating answers, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, assess evidence and make ethical decisions remains central to human learning, he said. Universities must therefore prepare students not merely to use emerging technologies but also to question information, exercise independent judgement and understand the complexities of human experience.
