However, he also mentioned that the only thing which differentiates robots from human beings is their heart.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan expressed his fear of being replaced in the future due to the widespread use of AI. The ability of robots to carry out tasks that are usually associated with human intellect, such as learning and problem-solving, is known as artificial intelligence (AI).

In the latest episode of KBC 17, Amitabh Bachchan shared that people have started using AI for a lot of things, such as fetching answers to their queries, solving problems in a matter of minutes, and even getting suggestions on casual topics. He mentioned that even he might be replaced someday, as AI has the capability to ask questions and might develop further in the future to even host the show, leading to his replacement.

However, he also mentioned that the only thing which differentiates robots from human beings is their heart. A heart has the ability to emote, share feelings and value relationships.

His viewpoint highlights his awareness and apprehension regarding the rapid advancement of AI and its potential impact on human creativity and employment in his field, but there is no indication that AI is currently taking over his role as the host of KBC 17. He is actively hosting the current season.
