Keralam Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has urged students to become masters of technology rather than its slaves, stressing the need for its responsible use amid growing concerns over the impact of emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence.

Addressing the eighth convocation of the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Kottayam at Valavoor on Saturday (October 3, 2026), Mr. Arlekar said technology should remain a tool for human progress and should not be allowed to control its users.

“We should utilise technology, and a situation where technology starts using us must not arise,” he said. Noting the concerns being raised over the impact of advanced technologies, including AI, on the next generation, he said students should address them by mastering technology.
