Keep human judgment central in AI-driven education: CPRG director at AI Summit

NEW DELHI: Human judgment must remain central as artificial intelligence reshapes classrooms, CPRG director Ramanand said at a summit session on AI in education on Friday. The event titled “Reimagining Education in the Age of AI” was hosted by CPRG at Sushma Swaraj Bhawan during the India AI Impact Summit 2026.

“AI should be used to enhance learning and assist teachers, while keeping human judgment and thinking at the centre. It is the process of learning that should be in focus rather than the content,” said CPRG director Ramanand.




“This AI Summit is the right time to reimagine the future of education, and without incorporating technology in education for everyone, we will not be able to ensure equitable education for all,”

Talking about AI literacy, Anand Rao Patil, additional secretary of higher education, GoI said, “India has over one crore school teachers. We must prioritise equipping them with AI literacy so they can guide students in using these technologies responsibly.”

The event also witnessed the presence of KK Aggarwal, president of South Asian University; Pankaj Arora, chairperson of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE); Suresh Yadav, senior director, trade, ocean and natural resources directorate, commonwealth secretariat; and Aditi Nanda, director, ecosystem and Industry.
