AI ले हाम्रो काम गर्ने क्षमता बढाउँदै छ। तर के हाम्रो सोच्ने क्षमता पनि बढाउँदै छ?
AI ले सबैलाई उत्कृष्ट उत्तर दिन सक्छ। तर के सबैसँग ती उत्तरको सत्यता जाँच्ने, प्रमाण र तर्कको मूल्यांकन गर्ने र विवेकपूर्ण निर्णय लिने क्षमता पनि उत्तिकै हुन्छ?
सूचनाको खाडल घट्दै गर्दा सोच्ने क्षमताको खाडल अझ फराकिलो हुँदै त छैन?
यही ‘Cognitive Asymmetry’ (संज्ञानात्मक विषमता) को उदीयमान चुनौतीबारे @Shilapatra मा प्रकाशित मेरो नयाँ लेख।
यो प्रविधिको विरोध होइन, बरु AI लाई कसरी प्रयोग गर्दा मानिसको स्वतन्त्र सोच्ने र सही निर्णय गर्ने क्षमता अझ बलियो बनाउन सकिन्छ भन्ने बहस हो।
नेपालले यो चुनौतीलाई कसरी सम्बोधन गर्नुपर्ला? हाम्रो शिक्षा प्रणाली, सार्वजनिक प्रशासन र AI सम्बन्धी नीतिमा समालोचनात्मक चिन्तन (Critical Thinking) लाई कसरी प्राथमिकता दिन सकिएला?
लेख पढेर आफ्ना विचार र व्यावहारिक सुझाव साझा गरिदिनुभएमा आभारी हुने छु। यस विषयमा हुने सार्थक सार्वजनिक बहसले हाम्रा नीति निर्माताहरूलाई समयमै दूरदर्शी र प्रमाणमा आधारित निर्णय लिन सहयोग पुर्याओस् भन्ने अपेक्षा छ।

Nepal needs cultural diplomacy to connect with "Virtual Nepal." In his @Online_khabar op-ed, NPI Chair @DhakalKhagen proposes the Bhanu Bhakta Global Nepali Network, a platform to connect Nepali language, literature, music, heritage, and culture worldwide.

On Bhanu Jayanti, I reflected on how Nepali language can connect Nepal with “Virtual Nepal”—millions of Nepali-origin people across the world.
This is part of a broader idea of engaging the diaspora through three pathways: economic diplomacy, knowledge diplomacy and cultural diplomacy.
My @Online_khabar op-ed proposes the Bhanu Bhakta Global Nepali Network as a practical cultural diplomacy platform.
