Abstract
The masquerading effect of caste has engulfed the social structure in such a way that the myth associated with it has perked up in the ideas of existence, making it a reality regulating day-to-day affairs of interaction. Most of the time, it is considered a functional prerequisite. The stratification associated with it has conformity emanating from the acceptance of the identity, which is not evading even after migrating to foreign countries to participate and be part of the capitalist mode of production. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a creation of the human mind. Caste is also a creation of the human mind. Technology has always paved the way for the betterment of society if used properly. Caste practices have always divided society and contaminated the public sphere with divisive manifestations of their stronghold in influencing social processes and policies. Annihilation of caste was the published work of Dr B. R. Ambedkar in the year 1936, and still the content and the context are seen in society.In the backdrop of this, the article engages with the role (if any) of AI in mitigating the divisions in society. The readers are already aware of the repercussions of the caste system since time immemorial. The diffusion of technology has always been trying to be inclusive, depending on the socio-economic aspect of any society. Industrialization along with the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution has rendered several avenues and opportunities for the so-called lower caste people to come forward and amalgamate themselves with the so-called upper caste people in the socio- economic process. The article discusses the prospect of the annihilation of caste by the influence of AI. It also engages in discussing caste as a main component of individual and community identity, which has become immune to any form of change in society. The article is based on available secondary sources.
种姓的伪装效应以这样一种方式席卷了社会结构,使与之相关的神话在人们的观念中复活,成为调节日常交往事务的现实。在大多数情况下,种姓被视为一种功能性的先决条件。与之相关的阶层划分具有源自对身份认同的一致性,即使移民到外国参与资本主义生产方式并成为其中的一员,也不会回避这种认同。人工智能(AI)是人类思维的创造物。种姓也是人类思维的创造。如果使用得当,技术总能为社会的进步铺平道路。种姓习俗总是分裂社会,并以其影响社会进程和政策的据点的分裂表现污染公共领域。消灭种姓 "是 B. R. Ambedkar 博士于 1936 年发表的著作,其内容和背景至今仍在社会上流传。读者已经意识到种姓制度自古以来的影响。技术的传播一直在努力实现包容性,这取决于任何社会的社会经济方面。工业化以及信息和通信技术(ICT)革命为所谓的低种姓人群提供了多种途径和机会,使他们能够挺身而出,在社会经济进程中与所谓的高种姓人群融合在一起。文章讨论了在人工智能的影响下消灭种姓的前景。文章还讨论了种姓作为个人和社区身份认同的主要组成部分,已经无法抵御社会中任何形式的变革。文章以现有的二手资料为基础。
