Maharashtra to Implement AI for Enhanced Policing and Traffic Management

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the implementation of artificial intelligence for improving policing and traffic management. A report by IIM Nagpur and the state government outlines strategies for effective crime detection and predictive analysis. The initiative also addresses cybercrime analysis and includes police recruitment considerations amid ongoing challenges.

Maharashtra is set to see revolutionary improvements in its policing and traffic management with the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis revealed the plans on Friday, emphasizing AI's role in enhancing efficiency.

Fadnavis, who heads the home department, noted that a report by IIM Nagpur, in conjunction with the state government, has proposed innovative uses for AI. 'From effective crime detection to predictive analysis, AI modules will transform policing,' he stated.

A state-run company will be formed to spearhead the project, targeting various units including cybercrime analysis and traffic management. Recruitment processes are being adapted to the ongoing rainfall and assembly poll code of conduct, ensuring fair opportunities for candidates. On reservation issues, Fadnavis stresses the importance of maintaining social harmony, avoiding caste-based tensions.
