"I hope it happens more rapidly than it's happening now so that human beings can realise the value of 'being' and how to be will become the most valuable thing in the world," he said.

“Artificial intelligence is not really intelligence- it is automatic computing. If this computing work is taken over by machines, human potential can really unfold and human beings can use their intelligence for higher pursuits,” Sadhguru added.

Talking about AI, Aggarwal in an X post said that India can become a global leader for the future of artificial intelligence. “The AI revolution is happening fast and it will propel human productivity, accelerate science and discovery. We humans can finally aspire to be free from doing jobs that a computer can do and truly expand the frontiers of knowledge and creativity. And with India’s unique cultural ethos of seeking and metaphysical exploration, along with technological and economic advancement, India can become the global leader for this future of AI!” the Ola founder said.
