Saakshar Duggal explains why AI, cybercrime, and data privacy are not merely "tech topics" but rather commonplace issues that impact everyone in this provocative TED-style talk. He illustrates how irresponsible behavior, such as sharing Aadhaar cards or blindly trusting AI, can result in deepfakes, defamation, and disastrous personal repercussions by using true stories of students, couples, and professionals. Saakshar dispels the myth that celebrities are the only ones who should be concerned about AI risks by reminding us that it is not the future but rather the present with humor, candor, and urgency. In a world where technology is advancing more quickly than we can comprehend, this serves as a wake-up call to assume responsibility, safeguard ourselves, and increase our awareness.
