Bhashini and CRIS Partner to Build Multilingual AI for Railways
Imagine the Indian Railways getting a smart upgrade!
The Digital India Bhashini team and CRIS are teaming up to make railway services easy to use for everyone.
They're using special AI that can understand and speak many Indian languages.
This means you'll be able to get information and help in 22 different languages!
They plan to create helpful chatbots and voice assistants, make websites and apps that understand different languages, and set up special kiosks for railway information.
This will make it much easier for everyone to use railway services.
Digital India Bhashini and CRIS will collaborate on multilingual AI solutions.
The partnership aims to integrate Bhashini's language technology into railway platforms.
Citizens will access railway services in 22 Indian languages.
The collaboration will focus on co-developing chatbots and voice assistants.
Joint technical workshops and pilot deployments are scheduled in the coming months.
