Telangana government, in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), will be launching Telangana Data Exchange (TGDeX) platform, the first State-led digital public infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI), on Wednesday.
TGDeX is aimed at developing cross-domain AI solutions through collaboration between the State, startups, industry partners and research institutions. The platform will enable access to high quality data and collaborative tools for AI solution builders, the Emerging Technologies Wing of the State IT Department said on the project undertaken by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, with JICA’s DXLab providing strategic and technical guidance.
The AI-ready platform will also utilise the Open Data Telangana platform, which is the central repository of all the datasets of the State government that should be in the public domain. TGDeX will leverage Telangana’s rich AI ecosystem comprising government departments, private entities, academia and open-source or licensed data providers.
The government’s technology ecosystem comprising Telangana AI Mission (T-AIM), T-Hub, MATH (AI/ ML Centre of Excellence of T-Hub), IIT Hyderabad and IIIT Hyderabad will also be associated for achieving TGDeX’s target of hosting more than 2,000 AI-ready datasets over the next five years.
Chief Minister A.Revanth Reddy envisions Telangana not just as a leader in Al, but as a model for how technology can empower people, the government said the upcoming launch of TGDeX platform, which is a flagship initiative under the State’s AI Strategy and Roadmap launched in September 2024.
