Kolkata: Kolkata Durga Puja will directly witness the leverage of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Jagat Mukherjee Park puja in North Kolkata.
While AI has already made its entry in the last two years’ puja in various facets like crowd management and decoration, artist Subal Pal will directly connect science and religion through AI in this Puja.
The theme of the pandal will outline the presence of AI in today’s human lives. It will also illustrate its impact, necessity and benefits. It will also highlight the negative impact of AI.
In the words of Subal Pal, even when computerisation started, there were such apprehensions. But later it proved beneficial for society.
Similarly, AI is now starting to take control of human lives. The pandal work will depict how much it impacts human behaviour and tendencies in the future.
Even the Durga image will have some AI-related surprises without hurting the religious sentiments. But he is tight-lipped about revealing further details.
From Bongaon local to Kolkata Metro, the Jagat Mukherjee Park puja is known for its innovative themes. AI as the central theme will add another feather to its cap.
