Modi Govt Directs AI Task Forces in Police
The Indian government wants all states to create special teams in their police departments that use artificial intelligence (AI).
These teams will help police gather information, detect threats, and analyze crime patterns faster.
The government also wants to train at least 70% of police officers on how to use AI.
They plan to use a big meeting called the AI Impact Summit to learn from experts around the world.
The goal is to make policing more advanced and able to predict and prevent crimes before they happen.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed all states and union territories to establish AI Task Forces within their police departments.
The government aims to train at least 70% of police personnel in AI applications through the iGOT portal.
The Ministry of Home Affairs will develop a framework for AI integration in intelligence gathering, real-time threat detection, and crime pattern analysis.
The National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID) will be integrated with AI systems to enhance data-driven justice delivery and internal security.
An AI Impact Summit is scheduled for February 16-20, 2026, to facilitate knowledge exchange with global AI experts.
