The Department of Personnel and Training is driving AI integration into government processes to enhance accuracy, transparency, and efficiency. Initiatives include AI-driven salary processing and grievance handling, while emphasis is placed on privacy and ethical use. Capacity-building and data-driven decision support are key focal areas for future advancements.

In a decisive move to modernize government functions, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) is gearing up to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into its core operations, according to Secretary Rachna Shah. Addressing AI's transformative potential, she highlighted its utility in processes like automated salary handling and grievance management.

During the 'AI in Public Governance' session of Mission Karmayogi's National Learning Week, significant AI tools such as AI Medha and Bhashini were discussed.
