The AI anchor Ankita was launched in the state of Assam by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. This initiative is part of the state’s broader push toward digital transformation and improving citizen engagement through innovative technologies. Ankita serves as a virtual anchor providing updates on significant state decisions, such as the renaming of Dibrugarh Airport after Bhupen Hazarika. The move demonstrates Assam’s commitment to integrating artificial intelligence into governance and public communication. Such advancements follow earlier tech adoptions like AI teacher ‘Iris’ in schools and AI anchors like Krish and Bhoomi on Doordarshan Kisan.
