West Bengal Police Establishes Dedicated AI Cell
The West Bengal Police is creating a special team called the AI Cell.

They want to make things faster and more open for everyone.
A high-ranking police officer, an ADG, will be in charge.
Other experienced police officers and two tech experts will help them.
This cell will figure out how to use AI for police work, make rules to ensure it's used fairly, and train other police officers.
They will meet often to plan and decide how to use AI to help make important decisions.
The goal is to make the police force more modern and effective.
