In his address, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur reflected on identity, creativity and narrative in the age of AI. “AI forces us to ask a fundamental question: who am I? Our sense of individuality is constantly in conflict with nature, and we must confront that uncertainty. In the AI world, the starting point is acknowledging that we do not know everything,” he said. Mr. Kapur also noted the need for India to develop its own narrative around AI. “We often view AI from a Western perspective. In India, we have technology and innovation, but we also need storytelling. The only way we perceive the universe is through stories. That is how meaning is created,” he added. Discussions on skills and workforce readiness featured Suresh Malodia, Associate Dean at MICA, Nirja Sharma, Chief Talent and Skills Officer at MICA, and Himanshu Vashishtha, CEO of SixthFactor Consulting. The event drew participation from policymakers, industry leaders, startups, civil society representatives and MICA’s students and faculty.enMICA Pre-Summit Event on Responsible AI
