The directive was given at the meeting of all secretaries presided over by chief secretary Manoj Ahuja at the Lok Seva Bhawan here.

The growing use of AI in different works outside the government was discussed at the meeting. As there is constant interaction among government agencies, departments and officials with outside players, some of whom use AI, it was felt that there is a need for the government to prepare for the new-tech age.
