This online conference was an ice breaking session with a few alumnus of Berhampur University and at the same time we had a bright talk about AI and it's different aspects. All the credit goes to our respected teacher Pradeep sir and also Bishnu who enlighten us about the technical learning. As an academician this session helped me gather more information about New Media. Thank you everyone hope we would have such intellect discussion further.
The inaugural online icebreaker session, hosted by retired Professor Pradeep Mahapatra from Berhampur University's Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, brought together 10 accomplished alumni. They gathered to explore the evolving media and communication landscape, focusing on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).
The event featured Professor Pradeep Mahapatra and a diverse alumni group, each offering unique perspectives. Discussions began with an exploration of today's media challenges and opportunities. AI's transformative role in journalism and mass communication took center stage.
Archana Madam highlighted the effectiveness of AI tools like ChatGPT in her professional role. Neel Mam expressed her enthusiasm for AI research in journalism. Vijay shared how AI is reshaping the government sector, while Mr. Bishnu encouraged embracing AI as an opportunity rather than a job threat.
Attendees acknowledged AI's potential to enhance productivity and create new career paths despite job security concerns. Beyond AI, discussions spanned personal and professional topics, promoting a rich exchange of ideas. Professor Pradeep Mahapatra offered insights into mid-career professionals' strategic branding in a rapidly evolving landscape.
In conclusion, this icebreaker session was a stimulating and insightful forum, blending academic knowledge, practical experiences, and forward-thinking discussions to explore media and communication's AI-driven evolution.
The session was very informative and thought-provoking. I learned a lot about the different experiences of the participants and how they have overcome challenges in their lives. I also appreciated the opportunity to hear Pradeep sir's insights on the topic. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced individual, and his contributions to the discussion were invaluable. It was a truly enriching experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have participated.

The conference ignited a lot of nostalgia and I time-travelled to the university days when I used to run to Dr.Pradeep Mahapatra Sir for guidance on anything and everything. This time also our discussions were whirl winding, starting from the recent happenings in the field of new media, use of AI, copyright issues, interactive websites and chatbots to challenges being faced by each participant on professional front and ways to deal with them. The session was interesting, engaging, thought provoking and at the same time very cosy and cordial. Dr Mahapatra in his usual earthy and unassuming style took the role of a life coach and advised each one of us and discussed about our life goals, future plans as well as financial plannings! Felt so good that someone wise and intellectual is ready to hold your hand and show the right path at the time of need. Thank you Dr Pradeep Mahapatra Sir for taking the initiative and bringing us together on such a wonderful platform
🙏
