Addressing the Global Indology Conclave 2025, Adani warned that the challenges of the present era come not through traditional means of invasion but through control over the human mind and imagination.

“The new forms of invasions do not come with armies or flags,” he said.

“They seek something far more powerful -- our attention, habits and imagination. This quiet civilisational force has arrived in its most powerful form -- Artificial Intelligence.”

Calling AI both a transformative and a dangerous force, Adani said it carries the potential to reshape human understanding of culture and memory.

“Al is becoming the world’s new teacher, the guide to our past and the keeper of our civilisational memory, and this is where the danger lies,” he said.
