AI, ML to drive Budget 2021’s National Language Translation Mission

New Delhi: The National Language Translation Mission, announced in Union Budget 2021-22, will use artificial intelligence, machine learning and speech recognition technologies to build the next generation government apps and websites that will be “conversational” like Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri, government officials said.

The Mission will work towards creating a “voice-based internet” which will be accessible in popular Indian languages and not be dominated by Hindi or English.
