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.
