MP Assembly considers using AI to shorten MLAs' long questions; Speaker Tomar meets NeVA, NICSI officials

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly to shorten and organise the lengthy questions MLAs submit. Assembly officials were given a demonstration, which explained how AI condenses a long question that appears in a questionnaire.

In this connection, Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar held a meeting on Wednesday on the Assembly premises with officials of NeVA and NICSI.

Ways of making the Assembly's various processes and tasks simpler, more effective and automated through AI were also discussed. The possibility of expanding the use of AI in Assembly proceedings and other processes in future is also being considered.

Information was also sought on the practical difficulties and technical problems that have been arising since NeVA began functioning. Officials spoke about the challenges in running it and possible solutions. There was also discussion on adopting modern technical solutions for the Assembly's digital transformation and preparing a plan of action.
