AI: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly — Jaspreet Bindra at the Rooshikumar Pandya 12th Memorial Lecture 2026
Artificial Intelligence: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is not just a catchy title—it is a full‑spectrum lens on where AI is taking us in 2026 and beyond. Jaspreet Bindra’s Rooshikumar Pandya 12th Memorial Lecture unpacks five powerful perspectives: how AI augments human potential, where it threatens entry‑level work, why judgment will matter more than raw capability, and how to avoid “human‑like but not human” outcomes. More than a tech talk, it is a call to become more curious, more articulate, and more ethically grounded as tools get smarter. For India, the stakes are even higher: AI can leapfrog broken rungs of the career ladder, amplify vernacular innovation, and reshape governance—if we design it with literacy, guardrails, and a human‑first mindset. The lecture reminds us that AI will not replace you; a human using AI might.
