Since most AI-based chatbots use open-source coding. They will need Telangana government services data to offer accurate answers to specific queries.
“Not only ChatGPT, but a few other AI-based chatbots are now available. We are studying them to see if the government’s vast data can be modelled into such a form. A small internal team of experts is already working on it. Keeping in mind the pros and cons of such technologies, our goal is to make its best use for the benefit of our citizens by offering all government services. It is certainly not meant to replace any job,” said Jayesh Ranjan, principal secretary for information technology.
The government hopes that the new platform will allow citizens to find answers about various services in the state. This includes loans they can get and which apps to use.
“While it is extremely difficult for a government or company to develop its own version of ChatGPT at this time, open-source of these tools can be used, and our government data can be fed into them. We are now assessing the things it can be applied to,” said Rama Devi Lanka, director of emerging technologies wing.
