In a significant step toward AI-driven governance, the Andhra Pradesh government has signed an MoU with the Wadhwani Foundation (WF) to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Generative AI, and Drones into governance.
The agreement was signed between Katamneni Bhaskar, Secretary of Information Technology, Electronics & Communication (ITE&C) Department, and Prakash Kumar, CEO of Wadhwani Centre for Government Digital Transformation (WGDT).
Key Objectives:
- Enhancing service delivery and optimizing government schemes
- Implementing AI-driven solutions for greater efficiency and transparency
- Leveraging AI-based data analysis to refine policies and streamline programs
- Boosting citizen engagement through technology-enabled governance
A critical component of this initiative is capacity building among government officials. The state will introduce an AI Bootcamp under WGDT’s ‘AI Champions’ and ‘AI Enablers’ programmes to train government employees in AI applications. Additionally, AI-enabled online resources will be provided for continuous digital learning.
This partnership is a pro-bono effort, with both GoAP and WF contributing resources and expertise to drive effective AI adoption.
Katamneni Bhaskar, Secretary of ITE&C, stated:
“Andhra Pradesh is committed to leveraging AI for better governance and public service efficiency.”
With this collaboration, Andhra Pradesh is set to become a pioneer in AI-powered governance, ensuring smarter policies and improved citizen services.
