Karnataka Council Members Seek Discussion on AI as Third Language Alternative
Members of Karnataka's Legislative Council from BJP and Congress jointly raised concerns over the government's proposal to replace the third language subject with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in high schools. Despite cross-party support urging discussion, Council Chairman Saleem Ahmed declined to allow debate during a session focused on drought and a government report, but assured the issue would be brought to the Chief Minister's attention. Language teachers and advocacy groups have protested, emphasizing AI should be an additional subject rather than a substitute.
