Abstract

This research paper examines the topic of “Use of Artificial Intelligence in understanding and interpreting various themes of Urdu short story” and studies the extent to which artificial intelligence has expanded the possibilities of creation, understanding, analysis and promotion of Urdu short story. In the modern era, artificial intelligence is not limited to the scientific and technical fields but its effects are also becoming noticeable in the fields of literature, language and creative expression. With the help of AI, assistance can be obtained in various stages such as finding themes, plotting, character formation, dialogue arrangement, language and style analysis, translation and editing. Similarly, it is also possible to identify and comparatively study thematic, linguistic, social and psychological trends present in a large collection of Urdu short story through artificial intelligence.


This research will examine the possibilities of understanding various themes of Urdu short story, especially identity crisis, existential anguish, civilizational and cultural decline, post-colonial consciousness, class conflict, gender issues, terrorism, war, environmental crisis, globalization, consumerism and social alienation with the help of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, questions such as creative freedom, literary originality, authorship, moral responsibility and the future of human creation associated with the use of AI will also be discussed. The main thesis of the research is that artificial intelligence can provide new dimensions to the study and creative process of Urdu fiction, however, it is more appropriate to consider it as a supporting research and creative tool, not a substitute for human creative consciousness and critical insight
