In AI, ET Wing is working on 15+ projects with over 30 partners. We want to leverage AI to impact lives at scale. The AI-based Pest Management project has helped farmers increase their income and thereby improved their livelihoods. To enable accelerated AI innovation Government of Telangana has taken multiple initiatives in the direction of creating a comprehensive digital agriculture ecosystem such as the Agriculture Data Management Policy Framework and Agriculture Data Exchange Platform. Telangana’s vision is to create something like a UPI, a very thin interface - which enables sharing of data across the ecosystem. This is a unique initiative that we want to apply across sectors.
Finally, she mentioned how Telangana will continue to focus on building products and solutions at the population scale that are going to impact billions of lives not just in India but across the globe thus pole-vaulting to a new era of digital transformation.
