The National e-Governance Division (NeGD) of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), in collaboration with Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Visakhapatnam, has conducted a two-day training programme on ‘Applications of AI/ML’ on August 8 and August 9, 2024.
The emphasis was placed on the crucial need to develop infrastructure that facilitates the seamless integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into existing systems, while also safeguarding data security and privacy. By harnessing the power of AI and ML, governments can better anticipate citizen needs, streamline processes, and make informed, data-driven decisions.
The goal of this programme is to provide officers with effective strategies for the responsible implementation of AI. This encompasses navigating regulatory challenges, adhering to ethical standards, and maintaining practices that are both explainable and compliant with privacy regulations.
Further, the capacity-building scheme under Digital India programme intends to build adequate and relevant capacities at all government levels and provide need-based training to conceptualise, lead, design, and implement e-governance projects. Vigorous efforts have been made to reach a large number of government officials and train them on relevant skills.
