Inaugurating the workshop, G. Madhukumar, secretary and correspondent of the L.B. Colleges, said teachers should adopt modern teaching practices by effectively using AI tools. He observed that AI had become an integral part of contemporary education and stressed the need for training teachers in the technology.
K. Harshavardhan, chief executive officer of BotClub Private Limited, said AI would not replace teachers, but those who failed to use AI tools risked falling behind.
