Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday, October 21, suggested using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to address traffic issues in Hyderabad.
“Since the traffic menace is increasing in Hyderabad, to curb the issue Telangana DGP and Hyderabad Commissioner have been asked to use artificial intelligence for traffic management and physical policing,” Reddy said.
