ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

GERMAIN DROOGENBROODT (Belgium - Spain)

Rivers overflow their banks

Houses are demolished

Cars swept away

By the raging waters:

Man has disrupted nature.

In vain

Wisdom’s warning words

Would a chip, implanted in the brain,

Offer more wisdom or even more blindness

And indoctrination?

কৃত্রিম বুদ্ধিমত্তা

জার্মেইন ড্রোজেনব্রুডট (বেলজিয়াম -স্পেন)

অনুবাদ: মোঃ ইজাজ আহামেদ (ভারত)

তীরগুলোকে প্লাবিত করে নদীরা

ভেঙে ফেলা হয় ঘরবাড়িগুলো

ভেসে গেছে গাড়িগুলো

উত্তাল জলের দ্বারা:

মানুষ প্রকৃতিকে ব্যাহত করেছে।

বৃথা

প্রজ্ঞার সতর্কবার্তা

মস্তিষ্কে  চিপ বসানো হবে একটি,

আরো জ্ঞান বা এমনকি আরো অন্ধত্ব প্রস্তাব

আর মতদীক্ষাদান?

*এই কবিতাটি ইংরেজি থেকে বাংলায় অনুবাদ করা হয়েছে মোঃ ইজাজ আহামেদ - এর দ্বারা অরঙ্গাবাদ, মুর্শিদাবাদ, পশ্চিমবঙ্গ, ভারত থেকে।
