He remarked, “In the current environment, the importance of both books and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is immense. Books contain a deep reservoir of knowledge, while technology is crucial for progress. Life would be incomplete without books; they teach us what is right and wrong.”

During his address, Rai also discussed the rising influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in society. He pointed out, “AI has become increasingly important today. It can learn and process information instantly, making it both beneficial and potentially dangerous for society.” His words sparked a reflection on the balance between technology and traditional sources of knowledge like books.
