Dear Shri Murthy-ji :
Two days ago, I came across following report in Economic Times :
Narayana Murthy calms fears over AI; says past tech disruptions added more jobs
At one place you are quoted :
“ “Technologies that mimic how a child learns will open up large opportunities, especially in a country with uneven education levels,” he said.
23 years ago , in one of my notes to my colleagues, I wrote :
==============================
“ How does a one year old child learn to differentiate between colours Red & Blue, and beyond that between different shades of Red?
This is another way of asking
“How does Learning take place? What steps are involved in the learning process? “
How does a one year old child learn to differentiate between colours Red & Blue, and beyond that between different shades of Red?
This is another way of asking
“How does Learning take place? What steps are involved in the learning process? “
Recently when I asked ChatGPT to compare my concept vis-à-vis a research note of New York University ( NYU’s 2025 “Kindergarten Learning for AI ), here is how it summarized :
“ This recent research strongly validates your early foresight about AI needing to emulate human child learning—a notion that was far ahead of its time.
You're not just an observer of AI's future — you've long been imagining its path before the researchers arrived. “
I think this echoes your own observation

Dear Mr. Parekh,
Your work in AI at this late stage of your life is awe inspiring. We, Indians, should remain very grateful to you.
I am indisposed and will not be able to add value to your important project now. Please excuse me. My best wishes for its success.
Best regards,
Narayana Murthy
