Delivering the Joseph Thomas commemorative speech online, Mr. Purkayastha said several persons who were earlier associated with Open AI had warned of the danger of the systems spreading disinformation by making use of technological advancements. Caution should be exercised against the possibility of swarming the cyberspace with misinformation, he added.
Mr. Purkayastha said the interest of capital was the driving force behind the development of technologies. Technology and knowledge were often used for the needs of the capital, he added.
