A unique idea is the germination of creative progression, which can never be taken over by AI but can be accentuated with technology. People are worried that AI will take away jobs, but the concerning factor is how the youth will excel without knowing AI and other technologies,” said Shekhar Kapoor. “The youth have a strong ability to combine their creative streak with technology. This ability will give a new dimension to filmmaking and storytelling,” he added.enMICA School of Applied Creativityprograms launch
