New Delhi: Delhi govt is planning to use artificial intelligence to strengthen governance and improve service delivery across departments. It will engage technology companies, startups and research institutions to develop AI-based solutions for sectors such as healthcare, education, transport, urban planning and air quality monitoring.The initiative aims to identify proven, market-ready technologies that can first be piloted and later scaled up across departments. Only AI solutions with at least one successful implementation will be considered. The move is expected to enhance efficiency and responsiveness in govt systems.According to an expression of interest document floated by the IT department, the govt plans to integrate artificial intelligence tools to improve governance outcomes across multiple domains.“We are committed to promoting the adoption of AI and emerging technologies to enhance governance, improve citizen services, and drive innovation across sectors. A tender has been floated to seek interest from technology companies, startups, academic institutions, research organisations, and industry bodies to showcase their AI-based products, solutions, projects and use cases relevant to public service delivery and governance,” an official said.The official added that the objective is to identify innovative AI solutions that can be adopted or piloted at the departmental level. “Initially, we are focusing on smart governance and public service delivery, urban planning and smart cities, environment and air quality monitoring, health and health services management, transport and mobility, and education,” the official said.The govt will review responses from stakeholders, including AI solution providers, startups, academic and research institutions, industry associations, innovation labs, system integrators and technology consulting firms.“We want to identify practical AI applications that can be tested through pilot projects within departments.
