Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword — it’s the heartbeat of modern businesses, reshaping industries and redefining decision-making. On May 19, 2025, Quantum University took a giant leap in bridging the gap between academia and industry with a power-packed guest lecture on “Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Modern Business Era.”
Organized by the Department of Commerce and Finance, the event brought together students, faculty, and tech-curious minds for a fascinating deep dive into AI’s transformative impact on today’s business world. The lecture was held at Harmony Hall and was expertly coordinated by Ms. Rupali Khurana.
The Speaker: A Visionary at the Helm
The session was led by none other than Dr. Brij Mohan Singh, Director of the Quantum School of Technology (QST), a respected thought leader in technology and innovation. With his extensive expertise, Dr. Singh didn’t just talk about AI — he brought it to life.
He began by tracing the evolution of industrial revolutions, positioning AI as the cornerstone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. From self-learning algorithms to data-driven decisions, the audience was introduced to a world where machines don’t just compute — they think.
AI Simplified: Concepts Made Crystal Clear
Dr. Singh masterfully broke down complex AI concepts into digestible insights:
- Types of AI: Narrow AI, General AI, and Superintelligent AI
- Core Technologies: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Computer Vision
- AI Lifecycle: From data collection and model training to deployment and feedback loops
These weren’t just theoretical concepts. Dr. Singh shared real-world applications from industries like marketing, customer service, and financial analytics — showing how businesses today are leveraging AI to make smarter, faster, and more personalized decisions.
A Thoughtful Take on Ethical AI
While the power of AI is undeniable, Dr. Singh didn’t shy away from addressing its challenges and ethical implications. Topics like algorithmic bias, data privacy, and job displacement sparked critical thinking among students. He urged the young minds to champion responsible AI development — systems that are not only efficient but also transparent, fair, and explainable.
Why This Session Mattered
In today’s data-driven economy, the line between commerce and technology is quickly disappearing. For aspiring business professionals, understanding AI is no longer optional — it’s essential. This session didn’t just inform; it empowered students to think ahead, adapt fast, and lead with tech-enabled insights.
The lecture concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by Dr. Varsha Gupta, Coordinator, Department of Commerce and Finance, who expressed deep appreciation to Dr. Brij Mohan Singh for sharing his time, vision, and experience.
