 SHILLONG: Taking a significant step towards digitisation, the Meghalaya Assembly has started using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transcribe House proceedings.

Meghalaya Assembly Commissioner & Secretary, Andrew Simons, said on Thursday that Speaker Thomas A. Sangma has taken personal initiative to utilise AI for transcribing the proceedings of the House.

The Chief Reporter of the Assembly secretariat, Arnica Lyngdoh, in coordination with other technical personnel spearheaded the initiative to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
