PRIME Minister Narendra Modi expressed concern over the potential threats generated on account of digital frauds, cyber-crimes and AI technology, particularly the potential of deep fake to disrupt social and familial relations.
As a counter measure, he called upon the police leadership to convert the challenge into an opportunity by harnessing India’s double AI power of Artificial Intelligence and ‘Aspirational India’. Addressing the valedictory session of the 59th All India Conference of Director Generals/Inspector Generals of Police, PM Modi expanded the mantra of SMART policing and called upon the police to become strategic, meticulous, adaptable, reliable and transparent. Appreciating the initiatives taken in urban policing, he suggested that each of the initiatives be collated and implemented entirely in 100 cities of the country.
He called for the use of technology to reduce the workload of the constabulary and suggested that the Police Station be made the focal point for resource allocation. The two-day conference, held in Bhubaneswar on November 30 and December 1, was also attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and NSA Ajit Dovl. DGs and IGs of Police of all states/UTs, were present at the conference, which was held in a hybrid format.
