Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath delivered a compelling call to action on Artificial Intelligence during a high-profile conference. He advocated moving beyond reactive measures to a proactive embrace of AI technologies.
‘Don’t wait for problems to arise—use AI to prevent them,’ Yogi remarked, outlining a blueprint for AI in public administration. His speech resonated amid India’s push for technological self-reliance.
Key examples included AI-powered predictive policing reducing crime rates in Lucknow by 15%, and smart irrigation systems optimizing water usage in drought-prone regions. The CM envisioned AI as a cornerstone of UP’s $1 trillion economy goal.
He warned against unregulated AI, pushing for frameworks that prioritize job creation and cybersecurity. Educational reforms integrating AI curricula from school levels were also announced.
Industry leaders pledged investments exceeding ₹5,000 crore in UP’s AI ecosystem. Yogi’s proactive mantra signals a paradigm shift, positioning the state at the forefront of India’s AI revolution and inspiring national discourse on tech governance.
