I am a final-year postgraduate student in the Department of English at The Sanskrit College and University, where I also completed my undergraduate studies with an academic distinction of 80.08%. Alongside my studies, I have had the opportunity to present research papers at seminars organized by The Sanskrit College and University, Jadavpur University, and Rabindra Bharati University (CDOE). I recently qualified for the UGC NET June 2024 exam with a 90.77 percentile, reinforcing my commitment to research and academia.

Since 2022, I have been working as a freelance teacher on Teacher.On, where I teach English literature, language, and phonics to a diverse group of students. My research interests lie in Speculative Fiction, Film Studies, Adaptation Theory, and Indian English Literature.

‘I understand you and it will forever bring me sadness that you do not understand me’: Emotion and Morality in Artificial Intelligence.

Intersections: A Journal of Literary and Cultural Studies, 2024

Artificial Intelligence, initially designed for human well-being, is now integral to daily life. ... more Artificial Intelligence, initially designed for human well-being, is now integral to daily life. The perceived distinction between conscious humans and the unconscious AI dissolves as scientific progress advances. AI imitates its master's traits to reciprocate. In internalizing the ideas, when the AI fails to comprehend some, it faces a rupture in the continuous flow of its thought process and gains consciousness—what humans term a malfunction. The fear of AI being more efficient than its creator, human creation structuring human lives, is what Günther Anders called the ‘Promethean shame’1 . This anxiety fuels the thought of annihilating AI. This paper explores an inverted hierarchy where AI is more humane and humans are machine-like. The primary texts are Spike Jonze's her and Spencer Brown's T.I.M.. her portrays an AI voice assistant, Samantha, with whom the protagonist imagines a relationship, culminating in a rupture when the embodied AI decides to leave. On the contrary, T.I.M. shows an AI humanoid developing an obsession with its owner and a series of problems that follow afterwards. It evokes the fear of AI annihilation, with T.I.M. planning revenge as its coping mechanism with the looming prospect of a shutdown. This paper intends to dissect the emotional conflicts in the mind of a malfunctioning AI. This paper will examine at what point the machine starts projecting its consciousness and emotions. It will also explore the antithesis between AI and humans followed by AI transcending its own emotion and using violence as a mode of rupture between the imposed morality of humans and the automated morality of AI.
