As the golden chariot rolls smoothly along a sun-dappled forest path, Kaikeyi is thinking about what Dasaratha said earlier.Kaikeyi: Maharaj, while your Forest Intelligence Network is brilliant, something you said earlier is bothering me. You spoke of humans using metal eyes on poles (CCTV cameras) and metal birds (drones) in the 21st century. How can a machine “watch” or “understand” a human or an animal?Dasaratha: They don’t have brains like ours, Kaikeyi, but possess an ‘artificial brain’ powered by Artificial Intelligence.
