Interesting to see other nations pushing ahead. Hope our Digital India mission takes note. But we must ensure any AI used in governance is transparent and doesn't create new biases. The 'regulatory guidance' part is crucial.

~NIS 40 million is a serious investment. While the goal of improving citizen services is good, I have a respectful criticism: technology is only as good as the people implementing it. Our focus in India should be on upskilling our vast government workforce first, not just buying new systems.

Streamlining work processes with AI sounds efficient. Could help reduce paperwork and delays, which is a common pain point in many countries, India included. Hope the training for officials is comprehensive.

Good move. Israel is known for its tech innovation. India has the talent pool to do something similar on a much larger scale. Our Aadhaar system was a massive digital leap. AI in governance is the next logical step. Jai Hind!

"Improving services to citizens" – that's the phrase that matters most. If AI can make getting a birth certificate or a driving license simpler and faster for the common person, then it's worth every penny. Let's learn from global examples.
