Assam Chief Secretary Ravi Kota on Saturday chaired a meeting of the Steering Committee on AI Adoption and Implementation, constituted to deliberate on the strategic roadmap for adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across government departments for improved governance, public service delivery and administrative efficiency. During the meeting, the Chief Secretary reviewed the progress made till date, including the AI inventory exercise which has identified 343 project ideas across 50-plus departments, organized into 11 thematic clusters. He emphasized the need to move from inventory to implementation through a prioritized approach, adopting a “build once, use by all” model with common AI capabilities developed centrally and leveraged across departments.
The deliberations also covered the proposed five-layer architecture for AI adoption and the need to accelerate key initiatives such as AI-enabled citizen services, grievance redressal platforms and data governance frameworks to enhance governance and service delivery. “The proposals emerging from the meeting will be further refined for consideration at the appropriate level as part of the broader roadmap for next-generation governance reforms and digital transformation,” Kota stated. It may be recalled that in pursuance of the directions of the Chief Minister in March 2026, all the departments started an exercise to explore the potential AI applications for citizen delivery.
