The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) is rapidly increasing in government departments. The Panjagutta Police Station near Hyderabad, Telangana, is being developed as India’s first AI-based police station. According to a report in The New Indian Express, India’s first AI police station is expected to begin operations next December as a pilot project, using AI for key tasks ranging from filing complaints to preparing charge sheets.According to the report, Hyderabad Police Commissioner Sajjanar recently inspected this police station. Next month, DGP CV Anand will begin the use of AI in the operations of the Panjagutta Police Station as a pilot project.
It is claimed that this police station is being developed as the country’s first AI-based police station.AI is being incorporated into the functioning of the police station to benefit both police officers and civilians.In the coming days, AI will be used in various tasks at this station, from registering complaints to creating case diaries, preparing investigation reports, and filing charge sheets.
Several facilities have already been implemented at this police station. One of these is the SETUtu kiosk. With its help, complaints can be filed in approximately 10 languages. This facility is very helpful for those who do not know the local language. The AI system translates the victim’s language into the local language, and the complaint reaches the police officers. This saves time and allows police officers to take timely action on the case.
While the main competition in the field of AI is between the US and China, India is rapidly advancing in adopting this technology. India ranks third in Stanford University’s Global AI Vibrancy Report. The report shows that while large AI models are not being developed in India, people here are using AI in their daily lives. Panjagutta Police Station is a prime example of this which is incorporating AI in its functioning to streamline its operations and make services easily accessible to the people.
