Niti Aayog plans index to rank states on artificial intelligence adoption

Government think tank Niti Aayog is planning to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) readiness index that will rank states on their capacity to adopt the technology for public service delivery and exploit its innovative potential.

The index could be among the first few indices that the Aayog will develop in its second term after the successful roll-out of the health, education, water composite index and the agriculture index in the last few years.
