IIT Delhi Researchers Highlight PM2.5, AI Fears, and Antibiotic Resistance at Open House

Imagine tiny dust particles in the air, called PM2.5.

A scientist found that if pregnant people breathe too much of this air, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, their babies might be born too small, too early, or even stillborn.

Another researcher is looking into how people worry that smart computers, called AI, might take their jobs.

People are scared that the AI will do the thinking and coding parts, leaving them with less to do.

But some people are figuring out how to work with AI, not against it, by learning new skills and asking their bosses to help them adapt.

Lastly, another scientist discovered that the food we eat, like chicken and eggs, might have tiny bits of medicine called antibiotics in them.

This can happen because chickens are given antibiotics to keep them from getting sick, and these medicines can end up in the food we consume, making it harder for us to fight off real infections later.
