IIT Mandi Director: AI cannot replace core engineering disciplines
Talking about expansion plans for IIT Mandi, Behera said the institute plans to increase the faculty strength
Amid an ongoing discussion about how education and learning will have to be reimagined in the wake of the AI boom, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mandi Director Laxmidhar Behera said that the engineering college curriculum need not be revamped with the advent of AI because the new technologies cannot do research.
"ChatGPT is a good innovation but it is as dumb as possible. It doesn't understand the concept. It just gathers the information from voluminous data," he added.
Talking about expansion plans for IIT Mandi, Behera said the institute plans to increase the faculty strength to over 300 and student strength to over 5,000 in the next five years.
