AI to select best marching contingent in Army Day Parade

The best marching contingent in this year’s Army Day Parade in Lucknow will be selected using artificial intelligence, a senior officer said on Friday.

Briefing reporters at his office, Army Day Parade Commander Major General Salil Seth said, “Artificial Intelligence is being used for the first time to identify the best marching contingent. As you know all the marching contingents do drills and do drills correctly.”

“There is a correct pattern of doing the drills -- raising your hands to a certain level, raising your legs to a certain level, doing your movement with the weapon within a certain timeframe. We are capturing the individual movement with a camera and then the computer software using the AI will give marks for each and every movement. This will also be supervised by humans. We have done two to three practices,” he added.

The Surya Command said in a post on X on Thursday, “#ArmyDay2024. Witness the synergy of tradition & innovation at the #ArmyDayParade2024, as cutting edge #AI joins the ranks, elevating precision & coordination of marching contingents to new levels. #IndianArmy... relentlessly marching towards a new Era!”
