Further, Ram Madhav said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the new world order is being dominated by many technologies in a big way. Digital technology was the one among them, which had a lot of potential for application in many sectors such as education, defence, aerospace, healthcare, energy, security, agriculture and governance, among others. In the future, Artificial Intelligence-based technologies will address societal problems as well as climate change issues. The rights of robots may promote a new expansion of the interrelated responsibilities of humans and machines.
"The individuals, governments and nations must be tuned in line with technological developments in the new world order. The developing countries should focus on both technologies and the economy to become a strong nation. The academic institutes should encourage the students to carry out innovative projects through an interdisciplinary approach," added Ram Madhav.
