Davos/Hyderabad, Jan 20 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday said the state government’s goal is to strengthen citizen services by effectively using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency in governance.
Addressing a high-level meeting on “Intelligent Infrastructure for Building Competitiveness” at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, the Chief Minister said Telangana is already implementing AI-based solutions across multiple sectors.
He said AI is being used in areas ranging from tracking subsidies like ‘Rythu Bharosa’ to property tax collection, implementation of welfare schemes for women and resolving urban municipal issues.
Reddy observed that while intelligence within systems can become a problem, it can also serve as a solution, and governance would become more effective if AI is used in the right direction.
Stressing the importance of proactive governance in the AI era, he said governments cannot afford to be negligent and must take quick decisions with timely implementation.
Explaining the “Telangana Rising 2047” vision, the Chief Minister reiterated the target of transforming Telangana into a USD 3 trillion economy by 2047. He said Hyderabad has emerged as a major hub for Global Capability Centres, with leading companies operating across sectors, and added that building intelligent systems is crucial to attract further investments.
The conference also discussed global best practices on smart factories, sustainable energy systems, AI-driven services and smart city development.
The meeting was attended by Egyptian Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan Elkhatib, Emerald AI CEO Varun Shivaram, World Intellectual Property Organization Director General Daren Tang, Germany’s Digital Minister Carsten Wildberger, Nokia CEO Justin Hoetard and Hitachi CEO Toshiaki Tokunaga, among others, according to an official statement.
