Technological tools affecting human ability for neutral analysis, says police officer

Inspector-General of Police B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda has said that with the advent of technology and newer tools like artificial intelligence, it has been observed that human beings are slowly losing the power for neutral analysis. He was delivering a talk on civil services examination at the UPSC Aspirants Meet organised by The Hindu Civil Services Aspirants Club in association with Shankar IAS Academy at GM University in Davangere on Friday. Recalling his student days and his preparation for civil services examination and the struggle to find study material, Mr. Ravikanthe Gowda said that students of today are fortunate as they now have the power of technology and also mentors to guide them. While sitting under the fan and using a phone it is easy to criticise the system but how much change you can bring in the system by being a part of it is more important.” Narrating his journey from being an average middle-class boy in a village of Mandya district to becoming the sixth rank holder in KPSC examination, Mr. Ravikanthe Gowda called upon the students to never lose their confidence as there is nothing wrong in accepting one’s mistakes and making efforts to rectify them.
