AI can create miracles if used judiciously: Jitendra Singh

New Delhi, Sept 16 (UNI) Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said today AI can create miracles if used judiciously, but without integrity, it can also be misused, as seen in the rise of deepfakes and misinformation.
The minister said, “Integrity has no technological substitute,” cautioning students and researchers that ethical choices must guide the use of new technologies.
He was speaking at the inaugural event of the ‘Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence, Skill Development and Innovation’ at Graphic Era (Deemed to be a university).
The new centre is spread across 1.5 lakh sq ft, is the first of its kind in Uttarakhand. It includes an Apple iOS Development Centre, set up in collaboration with Apple and Infosys, and the state’s first NVIDIA AI and High-Performance Computing facility, powered by an NVIDIA DGX B200 system with 8 GPUs and 1.74 TB GPU memory, said official statement.
The 'NVIDIA DGX B200' system is an integrated AI data center server built around eight Blackwell-architecture B200 GPUs and high-speed NVLink interconnects, providing extreme performance for training and deploying large-scale AI models.
It is developed at a cost of over Rs 10 crore and supports research and innovation in healthcare, agriculture, environment, smart cities, and advanced industries.
The minister also highlighted that AI should be seen as a tool to complement human intelligence, not replace it, and advocated a ‘hybrid model’ combining technology with human judgement.
Jitendra Singh cited AI-enabled telemedicine vans deployed in rural India, where hybrid AI-human models provided healthcare to villages that have never seen a doctor.
The Minister said, “Every tool has a self-limiting utility if integrity is compromised. Only when we combine innovation with honesty can we truly shape India’s digital future.”
Graphic Era University, ranked 48th in NIRF 2025 rankings and accredited with an A grade by NAAC is India's first Generative AI Ready campus powered by AWS, said an official statement.
