Mohan Chara Majhi, the Chief Minister of Odisha, emphasized the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to set new standards in governance and public service delivery. He stated that Odisha should adopt a model where the state not only embraces technology but also leads in its implementation.
During a meeting with a private AI firm on Saturday, discussions focused on creating a secure, inclusive, and sovereign AI environment within the state.
According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), the conversation aimed to establish AI as a long-term public capability, highlighting the importance of sovereign infrastructure and sustainable institutional capacity within the state.
The meeting was attended by several key figures, including Electronics and Information Technology Minister Mukesh Mahaling, Chief Secretary Anu Garg, and senior government officials. The Odisha government presented its vision for developing a shared, sovereign AI infrastructure.
Majhi reiterated that AI offers a unique opportunity to redefine governance and public service delivery. He stressed the need for Odisha to not just adopt AI but to become a pioneer in its application. The statement also mentioned that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) is expected to be signed during the Black Swan Summit scheduled for February 5-6 in Bhubaneswar.
