Actress and musician Shruti Haasan has publicly thrown her support behind her father, veteran actor and politician Kamal Haasan, after his recent eye-opening speech about the massive environmental impact of Artificial Intelligence. The legendary actor addressed a large crowd of young students on stage at a college in Tamil Nadu during the Nayagan Fest event, where he passionately urged the younger generation to change their digital habits and start communicating more with the people around them. Kamal explained that every single time someone submits a query to advanced AI chatbots like ChatGPT, the backend data centers generate an enormous amount of electricity to process the request, which in turn requires heavy cooling systems that deplete precious natural resources. He put the environmental cost into perspective by stating that roughly a whole tumbler of water is effectively wasted with every single question asked, warning students that the more trivial queries they dump into AI, the more they are contributing to water scarcity.
Rather than relying entirely on internet algorithms for every minor thought, Kamal suggested that people must relearn the art of healthy human conversation and try asking their next-door friends or peers who might actually know a lot more than a software program. The superstar humbly added that even he does not pretend to be like an all-knowing AI bot, stating that he has the absolute courage to openly admit when he does not know something instead of generating artificial responses. Shruti Haasan was quick to resonate with this strong message, resharing the video clip of her father’s insightful speech on her official Instagram Stories alongside a hundred percent emoji to show her absolute agreement. To further drive the point home regarding the hidden ecological footprint of modern tech, the actress also shared an informative post titled the truth about AI’s water use might surprise you, which actively compared the technology’s heavy resource consumption to traditional farming methods, while backing another video promoting real human artistic skills over AI-generated content.
This technological caution comes from Kamal Haasan despite his own deep personal fascination with tech advancements, having famously traveled to the United States back in 2024 to enroll in an intensive ninety-day AI course before realizing that the true scope of the technology is expanding far beyond general human understanding and should not be touched blindly without proper regulations. On the professional front, both the father and daughter remain heavily occupied with major cinematic ventures in the South Indian film industry. Kamal Haasan, who was last seen on the big screen in Mani Ratnam’s action-drama Thug Life, is currently gearing up for a highly anticipated film alongside superstar Rajinikanth which will be directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, in addition to another action project with the stunt director duo Anbariv. Meanwhile, Shruti Haasan is fresh off her impactful performance in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s action thriller Coolie and a special appearance in the film Peddi alongside Ram Charan, and she is currently preparing for the theatrical releases of her upcoming projects Train and Aakasamlo Oka Tara.
