Govt tells officers to attend AI Summit, submit AI innovation notes

The government has discovered the future. And it comes with a two-page note. The cabinet secretariat has issued an office memorandum directing senior officers across ministries to step out of their files and into the future at the India AI Impact Summit.

According to the memorandum dated February 16, every officer of the rank of deputy secretary and above must attend the summit, walk the exhibition floors, sit through presentations, inspect demos, and absorb the buzzwords — machine learning, generative AI, predictive analytics, digital twins, and whatever else the future throws up between coffee breaks.
