Scientific Temperament can Help Indian Youth Face Tech-AI Driven Future
Scientific temperament is an important aspect to be developed for Indian youth as it helps them to face the tech-AI driven future. It is crucial, especially for women, as it involves logical reasoning, critical thinking, and helps them to feel empowered through scientific knowledge. As the society is becoming an AI/machine-driven world, Indian women need to pick up this aspect as their core skill to stay relevant in any industry.
Indian women can develop scientific temperament by pursuing STEM education, breaking the barriers beyond career limitations to take up senior positions, to become scientists and involve themselves in research-oriented jobs.
