Hyderabad: Governor and Osmania University (OU) Chancellor Shiv Pratap Shukla urged graduates to become researchers, innovators and job creators as artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies reshape the world of work. He stressed that technology must always remain guided by human values.
“AI can provide information, but the final decision must be taken by human beings based on understanding, ethics and sensitivity,” Shukla said at OU’s 85th convocation on Tuesday.
He asked graduates to continuously upgrade their skills and use their knowledge to address social problems, contribute to research and create employment opportunities. He also called on the university to strengthen its work in artificial intelligence, machine learning, research, innovation and sustainable development.
Shukla said a convocation should be viewed as a celebration of knowledge, hard work, discipline and achievement. He urged graduates to contribute to the goal of building a developed India by 2047 and called on young people to stay away from drugs and lead healthy and disciplined lives.
Bharat Biotech chairman Krishna M. Ella said academic qualifications alone would not be enough in a rapidly changing economy. He urged students to build practical skills, develop their imagination and view entrepreneurship as a means of solving social problems rather than merely making money.
The university conferred 640 PhD degrees and 71 gold medals at the convocation. The doctoral degrees were awarded to researchers from 12 faculties, while the medals recognised academic excellence across disciplines.
The Telangana Governor’s Gold Medal for the best PhD thesis in English by a Scheduled Tribe student was awarded to D. Makla.
The Governor also spoke about OU’s long academic legacy and called for research that addresses social challenges, digital learning opportunities for economically disadvantaged students and innovations that create employment.
OU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Kumar Molugaram said the university must remain at the forefront of AI, machine learning, research, innovation and sustainable development. His report highlighted academic excellence, research and institutional development, with emphasis on preparing students and researchers for a rapidly changing world.
