DigiLocker to Feature AI-Based eKYC and Global Credential Verification
Imagine a special digital locker for your important papers, like your driver's license or school certificates.
This locker is called DigiLocker, and it's getting even smarter!
Soon, it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to check if you are who you say you are, making it faster and safer to use.
It will also be able to check certificates from other countries.
This makes it easier for everyone to access government services without needing physical papers.
It's like a super secure digital backpack for all your official documents, helping the government work more efficiently and securely.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT plans to integrate AI-based eKYC and global credential verification into DigiLocker.
DigiLocker is evolving from a document storage service into a trust layer connecting citizens with government entities.
