‘AI can replicate skills, but it cannot dream new dreams,’ said author Amish Tripathi during ICC’s centenary literary evening in Delhi
ICC hosts a thought-provoking evening with Amish Tripathi on storytelling, AI, and the future of Indian narratives.
As part of its centenary celebrations, the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) hosted an engaging fireside chat with best-selling author Amish Tripathi in New Delhi. Tripathi, one of India’s most celebrated authors with over 8 million copies of his books sold is best known for his Shiva Trilogy and Ram Chandra Series. The session was moderated by Abhyuday Jindal, President, ICC and Managing Director, Jindal Stainless.
The conversation explored Tripathi’s literary journey, his love for storytelling, the evolution of the publishing industry, the rising role of AI in creative pursuits, and more.
Speaking about his new gaming project, Amish Tripathi said, “Our upcoming title, The Age of Bhaarat, is not just a game; it’s a digital reinvention of Indian legends and itihas, designed to resonate with today’s generation. At a time when gaming is so influential, it’s critical that Indian children and global audiences have access to immersive experiences rooted in our own civilizational wisdom. Indian culture has remained underrepresented in global pop culture, and with India’s rising economic and geopolitical prominence, it’s time our stories lead the way in global storytelling.”
On the growing influence of AI in creative fields, he added, “AI is already reshaping industries like publishing, with translation and editing being disrupted in real time. But while AI can replicate learned skills, it cannot dream new dreams. I suspect that it will not be AI defeating human beings. It will be another scenario—where a human with AI will most probably defeat a human without AI.”
Reflecting on the session, Abhyuday Jindal, President, ICC and Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, said, “Storytelling has always had the power to connect across generations, transcending time and culture. Voices like Amish’s not only help us rediscover our roots but also invite us to view them through a fresh lens. As we mark 100 years of ICC, it is a moment to celebrate not just our economic progress, but also the ideas, ideals, and imagination that fuel our nation.”
The evening concluded with a networking dinner, where guests continued the dialogue on literature, leadership, and India’s evolving narrative on the global stage.
