Fans seem to have mixed reactions about Tripathi playing the role of the famous Hera Pheri character. But the actor has finally opened up on the fake AI images doing the rounds on social media.

In a recent interview with Zoom, the Criminal Justice 4 actor addressed the topic and shared his viewpoint on AI technology. Tripathi expressed that he isn’t worried or scared about it. He recalled a childhood article he once read that represented science as both a boon and a curse.

“I remember reading an article in my childhood about science: is it a boon or a curse? What is it? It is both. If it is used meaningfully, then it is an amazing thing. If it is used meaninglessly, then it can be harmful. Any technology should have a meaningful use.”

He explained that if used meaningfully and for the right reasons, science can be a gift to society. He said that there are always going to be two sides to science. He also said that people who are consuming the content generated by AI should, therefore, learn to recognize if it’s original or not.

He added,

“But if there is technology, then it will have both kinds of uses. The person has to be aware that what they are seeing is generated or real and original. How much you will see and how much you will dissect or understand it? You have to live your life and work too. I am not scared because no matter how much technology evolves, human emotions have a lot of value and that is not going to change.”

On the work front, Pankaj Tripathi was last seen in the latest instalment of the popular legal drama series, ‘Criminal Justice 4’. The show is directed by Rohan Sippy and also stars Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, Asha Negi, Surveen Chawla, Barkha Singh, Mita Vashisht, and Shweta Basu Prasad. The series is now streaming on JioHotstar.
