CPRG also released its Youth Readership Study: Patterns and Preferences at the event, sharing key findings during the discussion. BJP National Organiser V. Satish attended the launch. ‘Not Symbolic, But Substantive’: India’s AI Summit Puts Global South At Centre Of World AI Agenda “The publishing sector is changing in visible ways. Technology is playing a role, but so are broader shifts in how reading fits into students’ lives,” said Dr Ramanand, director of CPRG. “New roles are emerging within the industry, and AI is starting to influence editing and content creation. This roundtable was meant to create space for an honest discussion on where these changes are taking us, while holding on to diversity, originality, and human judgement.”Prof K.G. Suresh, director of the India Habitat Centre, cautioned that while AI could facilitate publishing, editorial responsibility must remain central, saying, “Publishers need to be careful about how it is used, especially in self-publishing. Awareness of growing dependence on technology, particularly among students, will remain important.”Prabhat Kumar, director of Prabhat Prakashan, added that AI should support rather than replace human creativity. “Its growing use across publishing, including in design, calls for clear checks and balances.”The dialogue was held as part of CPRG’s Future of Society initiative.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
