  "account": "Superintendent of Police B. Nikhil has warned university students about the potential career damage caused by irresponsible use of social media and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Delivering a speech at Kuvempu University's 40th foundation day in Shankaraghatta, Mr. Nikhil stressed the importance of using these technologies responsibly. He highlighted the rise of unethical activities on social media and cautioned that posts or comments violating laws and hiding one's identity can have long-lasting consequences for students' futures. Mr. Nikhil stressed that once one logs into digital media, their digital footprints cannot be erased. He noted that AI is increasingly being integrated into various fields, including education, and should be used to enhance studies rather than solely relied upon. Nikhil also advised students not to be disheartened if they don't secure high-ranking positions, as performing any job with sincerity is the real achievement. University Vice-Chancellor Sharath Ananthamurthy encouraged students to pursue their studies beyond textbooks by engaging in art, literature, and cultural activities. The university will provide more opportunities for distinctive learning experiences in the future.",
