Also, academic pressure, which involves fulfilling evaluations, presentations, and high demands. Also economic problems, which are expenses in materials, in transportation, food, also with fatigue and worry, and this can affect emotional well-being. In another case, it would be work and study at the same time.

What concerns me about AI currently is that if we are able to use it well, without destroying the environment or disadvantaging you know, people and not spoiling different existing resources, etc. But if we're able to use it well in a balanced way, is the concern. So, a lot of governance on how AI needs to be directed is required. Also, there's a tendency that of disappearing arts and craft practices because AI can do it also is a worrying thing that we don't delegate everything to AI. So, it needs careful consideration.

Are you feeling more anxious or stressed than before these days? Yes, I am.

— Rajesh Mallik · Boudh, Odisha

What concerns me about growing AI use are the environmental costs such as water and energy consumption, pollution in the form of water and noise pollution. The lands that are being chosen to set up the data centers often belong to/next to communities that are already marginalized and in so it can exacerbate inequality that already exists. because What excites me is the fact that AI use and easy translation allows to democratize opportunities for people across different socio-economic strata and in some way gives them an equal footing.

Some of the challenges students face are the lack of time to complete all their homework, study for exams, also sometimes stress and the pressure to get good grades. Another challenge is avoiding distractions like cell phones, social media so they can concentrate more on their studies, right? Also, sometimes there are difficulties understanding certain topics or courses.

I think I'm excited and also concerned about different aspects of AI. One of my biggest concerns at the moment is the application of AI in animal language processing. Data that is used in these LLM represents a complex sentient being, yet for the tool, it is reduced to data points. I am concerned that this reduces the complexity of those worlds that we are attempting to understand. Sentient populations are being extracted from and therefore are not currently represented as the complex, social populations that they are.

— Kate Armstrong · Galungan, Sawan, Unknown

Limited access to technology, physical and mental fatigue, competition among colleagues, difficulty understanding some topics.

What concerns me about AI use is the growing environmental costs in the form of water and energy consumption as well as water and noise pollution. What excites me is the fact that it democratizes opportunities by removing language and technical barriers for people across socio-economic strata.

— Smriti Tiwari · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka

What concerns me about growing AI use is the setup of data centers which have many environmental costs including including water and energy consumption, uh noise and water pollution. What excites me is the fact that it helps to democratize opportunities across socioeconomic strata by giving different people the skills to access opportunities by removing language barriers and technological barriers.

So I think AI is going to become part of our life. I remember some 10-15 years back when Android phone was there, only limited people were using the Android phone. Everybody had a feature phone. People used to ask, you don't have the Android phone. Then how people were shifted from feature phone to Android phone. Now even I was just taking an example of my father, he's also started using Android phone, without that he can't survive now. That much he's attached to that. Similarly, AI is going to be used in a different way. For me also, nowadays for each and every work, I am using some or other sort of AI. But at the same time, I'm really bothered about the data. Whatever I am sharing, does it go to the general warehouse where anybody can access? That is only my worry.

Inflation and high cost of living, everyday essentials, rent, school fees—everything is expensive; the middle class is also troubled.

— VEER SINGH SIJUI

I am concerned about I am not concerned about the AI because AI is what the humans were were always in need of. AI can do the money money of the workers within few seconds. As one of the growing technology in the modern era, I am I am I am also concerned about it is misuses as it has been previously in last lot of some months, I have seen many videos that are and also AI has been used as the generous role for many other many other many other scams. As the data on the AI is not does not have any privacy. So with the advantages with with AI with AI having many advantages, it has many disadvantages also.

We are facing this predicament because we are observing the present era.

It excites me that the AI is going open certain new dimensions of professionalism and education. It concerns me that it is going to require a big amount of energy to function which might disturb the natural environment.

There are various types of problems in our village, and there is a need to work on those things as well.

— Amar Lal Dhurwey · Mandla, Madhya Pradesh

In today's era, due to internet problems, our education has also been affected.

— Amar Lal Dhurwey · Mandla, Madhya Pradesh

What really excites me is how we can learn about new things quickly. Uh, there are no barriers anymore for learning all new things, definitely helping in the work that I do. But uh at the same time the concern is that we'll stop thinking for ourselves and our confidence in our thinking will come down. Um, I think that we'll figure out uh the questions around water, electricity, data centers, all of that. That is the best part of learning from the um doing. And uh I think if we don't worry too much about those things, that might be fine.

— Ram Maravi · Dindori, Madhya Pradesh

Face more population, pollution. Now, vehicle pollution is high. There are more vehicles, all the trees have been cut. All the animals have decreased. Because of that, pollution is increasing a bit.

— Installation Visitor

What excites me most about AI is really what I call augmented intelligence. That it may help us expand our capacities and help us do things that we haven't even imagined so far. Unfortunately, this is also what I'm most concerned about AI. That it will instead of augmenting it, diminish our capacities. Not just because we will offload our mind to AI, but also because there will be forces that are deliberately extractive and want to control our minds. But hope is greater than fear in this case for me.
