Artificial intelligence is expanding its influence across sectors, raising concerns about the future

Pune, June 21, 2024 – Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly integrated into various sectors including politics and beauty pageants, demonstrating its pivotal role. On social media, AI influencers such as Naina Avtar, Lil Miquela, and Shudu Gram have gained massive popularity, amassing millions of followers. In the news industry, Indian channels have been using AI presenters since China’s Xinhua pioneered it in 2018. Notably, Doordarshan has introduced an AI presenter specifically for farmers, while another channel features AI presenter Sana, indicating the growing the role of artificial intelligence in journalism.

In politics, initiatives such as SAAI in New Zealand and candidates such as Al Steve in the UK are using artificial intelligence to improve connectivity between people. Despite its promising applications, it has significant challenges, as evidenced by the emergence of fake AI videos that are causing serious concern in India. The beauty pageant industry has also seen rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, as exemplified by Fanview’s recent launch of the Miss AI beauty pageant, which features contestants such as Jara Shatavari from India.

Artificial intelligence has even infiltrated the culinary arts, with chef AI becoming a viable option to aid in food preparation, suggesting further potential growth in this sector. As AI continues to develop, its impact in these sectors will deepen, creating both opportunities and challenges for future technological integration.
