The Statesman
|July 06, 2023
With the state government allocating more funds to further strengthen the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (UPSTF) in a recent review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the UPSTF has initiated the process of acquiring the Artificial Intelligence-based Criminal Data Creation and Retrieval System, which will enable the force to have the complete profiles of criminals at their fingertips.

The aim behind this is to enhance action against crimes and criminals in the state.
Working on Yogi Adityanath's zero-tolerance policy against crime, the UPSTF plans to establish the Artificial Intelligence-based Criminal Data Creation and Retrieval System at the cost of Rs 3 crore for which tenders have already been issued and four companies have also shown keen interest in installing it in the state.
The new Al-based system will help identify criminals by providing tools for matching face, voice and method of crime, officials said here on Wednesday.
