Government to fund 100 startups for using this platform

NEW DELHI: The government is planning to directly fund 100 startups to use its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language platform which will offer translation services in many languages of the country.
The platform will be opened up for private use to allow big companies or startups to plug into it to offer services in local languages to their customers, said people aware of the matter. As more users access the platform, the system improves and provides better results.
The ministry of electronics and IT (MeitY) has started work on the programme, called the natural languages translation mission, and is looking at providing Parliament and Election Commission records that are available in many Indian languages as an initial database for the service.
