LUCKNOW, Aug. 11 -- Ahead of the monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly commencing on Monday, a training session on artificial intelligence (AI) was held on Sunday for the MLAs. Experts from IIT-Kanpur conducted the session chaired by assembly speaker Satish Mahana. Over 200 legislators attended the session. "This is the first phase where we are introducing AI for the legislators. We have also started AI enabled cameras which will help in many aspects. For example, one can get to know what all a member has spoken in a period of five years within seconds with the help of AI-enabled cameras," Mahana said. "This is not a step of just monitoring, but many other aspects of information are also associated with it," he added. The session was divided into two parts where first was to introduce AI to the MLAs while in the second part, they were explained about real life application of AI. However, MLAs raised doubts too. "AI can judge your objective. Hence AI would not be able to do analysis of the data it is taking and the objective with which that data was made. Will AI be able to differentiate between genuine data from the fabricated one? And what about data safety," asked Sirathu MLA Pallavi Patel. Aradhana Mishra, Congress legislature party leader, said, "More than introducing AI, the legislators need to be told how to connect dots between their working needs and the AI." "Introducing AI is a welcome step but a debate makes it better for the assembly," said leader of the opposition Mata Prasad Pandey. Kaimganj MLA Surabhi Singh said, "Can AI cater to the sentiments of our voters? This is significant as an MLA has to connect directly with voters." "What if the data available from sources such as the internet is incorrect. Should we first focus on correct data," asked another member in the house. The experts from IIT-K answered their queries....
