Gujarat govt approves five-year action plan for AI implementation

Gandhinagar: The state govt said on Sunday that it approved an action plan for the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). Over the next five years, the govt aims to position the state as a leader in AI-enabled governance. The action plan, which will serve as a time-bound blueprint to equip the state govt with advanced AI capabilities, will be based on six key aspects: data, digital infrastructure, capacity building, research and development, startup facilitation and 'safe and trusted AI', the govt said. Over the next five years, the govt aims to train over 2.5 lakh individuals, including students, MSMEs and govt employees in AI, machine learning (ML) and related domains.
