Press Release! Lasantha Wickramasinghe Secretary, Association of Information Technology Professionals

We are deeply saddened when we saw the President Presidential candidate, Mr. Sajith Premadasa trying to mislead the public by showing a dashboard what he referred to as “Artificially Intelligent Management Dashboard”. We are very disappointed that he is trying to mislead the public by merely displaying a video without incorporating any such advanced technologies.

Artificial intelligence is any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Examples include driving a vehicle without a driver, diagnosing a patient and suggesting the treatments by a robot.

Even what Mr. Pramadasa showed using a video is not artificial intelligence. Just showing data on a colored dashboard is not artificial intelligence at all. At that time, he was looking for answers to the problem by discussing with an officer via phone call. It is obvious that the intelligence of Mr. Sajith Premadasa and the officer on the other side is not artificial intelligence.

We still cannot believe that a person seeking the leadership of the country is committing such a degrading act to mislead his voters. We suggest that he should openly apologize to the public for his efforts to mislead the people by this fraudulent act.

Lasantha Wickramasinghe
