Justice Katju critiques the overhyped narrative surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI), arguing that its portrayal as a revolutionary solution to global issues is exaggerated. While acknowledging AI’s utility in fields like medicine, he contends it fails to address core socio-economic challenges—poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, and inadequate healthcare—plaguing underdeveloped nations. Katju asserts AI lacks human creativity, essential for solving these problems, and may reinforce inequality by benefiting tech elites. He views AI as a distraction, akin to historical diversions like Roman circuses, unable to deliver systemic change without a people’s revolution. The piece calls for disillusionment from AI’s inflated promises.

Justice Katju’s Vision for India: A Call for Socio-Economic Revolution
Justice Markandey Katju delineates the distressing state of Indian politics, where politicians exploit caste and communal divides for electoral gains, rather than addressing the nation’s dire socio-economic issues. He criticizes the forthcoming Delhi Assembly elections as a mere reshuffle of leaders without substantial improvement in citizens’ lives. Katju advocates for a united struggle aimed at transforming India into a developed nation akin to the USA or China, emphasizing the eradication of poverty, unemployment, and malnutrition. He calls for a revolutionary political and social order to ensure justice and a decent standard of living for all Indians.
