AI-powered live transmission, translation deployed in Delhi Assembly: Speaker

An AI-powered live transcription and translation tool, BHASHINI, was used in Delhi Assembly, making it the first legislative body in the country to use the technology to improve legislative management, Speaker Vijender Gupta said.

The initiative to host a test pilot of the tool reflects the Delhi Legislative Assembly's commitment to adopting innovative technologies that can contribute to more efficient and accessible legislative processes, Gupta said on the first day of Monsoon session.

"This marks a significant milestone, as it is the first pilot deployment of BHASHINI's live transcription and translation system in any legislative House in the country," he said.


The pilot will be conducted on an evaluation basis, with careful review of the transcription output and the overall performance of the system. Any observations or issues identified during the trial will be addressed, the speaker said.

Based on the feedback received, the solution will be further refined and customised to meet the specific operational requirements of the Delhi Legislative Assembly before any decision is taken regarding wider deployment, he said.

Subject to the successful outcome of the pilot trial, the assembly also looks forward to exploring the adoption of similar AI-enabled solutions across its other functional branches, he added.
