Director General of Police Harish Kumar Gupta announced that the national-level ‘AI Hackathon’ would be held on June 27, 28, and 29 at R.V.R. & J.C. College of Engineering in Guntur. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to inaugurate the event.
Mr. Harish Kumar said: “The primary objective of the event, being organised by the State Police department, is to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based solutions for policing and public service. The hackathon aligns with Mr. Naidu’s vision to incorporate modern technology into governance.”
Mr. Harish Kumar said that the hackathon will serve as a strategic platform to develop AI solutions and added that eight problem statements have been curated by senior IPS officers in collaboration with their knowledge partner, 4SightsAI.
The department has extended invitations to domestic and international IT companies, educational institutions, and startups. So far, around 30 companies have registered. Each team, comprising three to four members, will work on developing AI-based solutions during the three-day event.
Participation in the AI Hackathon is free. The top-performing teams will receive certificates and a total cash prize of ₹10 lakh. An awards selection committee, comprising senior IPS officers, IT experts, and academic researchers, will evaluate the solutions. Selected teams will be provided with free accommodation during the event.
The DGP highlighted the increasing use of technology in policing, noting that drones are already being extensively used for routine patrols and enforcement in cities. He added that the department is exploring a potential collaboration with India AI to further integrate AI in law enforcement.
