These answers may not be blowing in the wind. But educators are working overtime to find lasting solutions to unfolding uncertainty in classrooms amid the artificial intelligence (AI)-driven disruptions. In this episode, Shashidhar Nanjundaiah, Dean,School of Media, Mahindra University, shares his views on the dire need for the education system to take cognisance of momentous technological changes that are unravelling and how it can be more flexible. He believes collaboration is the need of the hour to fill critical gaps between knowledge and application. Take a listen.
