Artificial intelligence, or AI, is rapidly advancing in various fields. Even newsrooms are embracing AI-powered news production. Channeliam.com, introduced Pragathy, India’s first AI news anchor, using Generative AI. Now, we continue to push the boundaries of AI technology with another groundbreaking experiment.
Our team created an AI avatar of a real news anchor, Nisha Krishnan. This pioneering effort marks a significant milestone for Indian newsrooms, showcasing Channeliam’s commitment to innovation in AI technology.
In an unprecedented event, an AI presenter conducts an interview with a minister at the executive level. State Public Works and Tourism Department Minister, Shri P.A. Muhammad Riyas, becomes the first-ever minister to engage with an AI news anchor. Together, they discuss the impact of new technologies, such as AI, blockchain, and robotics, on Kerala’s future.
Minister Riyas shares insights on Kerala’s readiness for technological advancements. He highlights the state’s proactive approach, citing the establishment of the Digital University during the previous government’s tenure. The current LDF government, led by Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, continues to foster technological progress with initiatives like the Digital Science Park. These efforts aim to equip the new generation with the necessary skills to navigate and contribute to a rapidly changing world.
Turning to the tourism sector, Minister Riyas emphasises its immense potential and the transformative impact it can have on people’s lives. He speaks passionately about creating a culture of responsible tourism, where every citizen becomes a brand ambassador for their respective area. By developing popular tourist destinations, like Kovalam, and leveraging Kerala’s natural beauty for adventure sports, the government aims to unlock the endless possibilities of beach and hill tourism. Through strategic collaborations with local self-government institutions, private partnerships, and cooperative institutions, projects like Destination Challenge are set to propel Kerala’s tourism sector to new heights.
To attract private investments and further strengthen the tourism industry, Kerala is organising an investor summit. This summit will showcase investment opportunities and provide a platform for interested parties to explore and choose their preferred sectors. By creating a conducive environment for private investments, the government aims to boost Kerala’s tourism sector to new heights.
Acknowledging the migration of young talent to foreign countries, Minister Riyas emphasises the government’s commitment to creating opportunities for the youth within Kerala. Significant strides have been made in public education, with an emphasis on empowering government schools and transforming them into hi-tech schools. In the higher education sector, efforts are underway to provide comprehensive education, vocational courses, and employment opportunities, enabling Kerala’s youth to compete globally without having to seek opportunities abroad.
Kerala’s journey into the future is guided by innovation, technological progress, and a commitment to empowering its people. With the integration of AI and the vision of leaders like Minister P.A. Muhammad Riyas, Kerala is poised to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the digital age.
